The coins below are two of a number of similar examples from the excavations at Anaia in western
Anatolia.
They are described as “overstrikes” (meaning I presume
mules*), with an
obverse of
Michael VIII (
cf. Sear 2261) and a
reverse of
Andronicus II (
Dochev 2017, p. 62, no. 143).
None of this makes much sense to me so has anybody got any ideas as to what these
types are?
In particular what exactly is
Dochev 2017, p. 62, no. 143?

* Actually it seems the authors do mean overstrikes,
as is possibly evident at the bottom of the reverse/top of the
obverse of coin 27 - very confusing.
