SBCV 2335 of Andronicus II
« on: February 28, 2017, 07:13:28 pm »
Below is (I believe) an example of the rare trachy SBCV 2335 of Andronicus II (PCPC 102), with the distinctive manus dei above centre on the reverse. Note that the emperor holds an akakia in his left hand, not an orb as described by Bendall.
The example shown on the Labarum site is I think SBCV 2264 of Michael VIII (which has no B's on the obverse).

P.S: But what is the saint doing with his right hand?
