Trebizond
Asper of Michael Komnenos

I agree with Strategos, this coin is an asper of Michael Komnenos (by the way your Trebizond page is looking great Strategos). With regards to this coin being authentic, can't say I'm an expert on that so maybe someone else on the board can provide more info.

Lancaster, personally I can't see anything particularly wrong with it, but would like to hear what others think as I can't say I'm an expert in spotting fakes/casts etc. That being said, I'd say that this is authentic.

Aspers of Michael were of poor quality, I believe that your coin is authentic.

Thanks Strategos. Do you mean the second coin that is shown in the first photo?
