Another Alexius Imitation or?
« on: May 20, 2022, 03:07:43 pm »
As per Forum rules I created a new thread, another coin that I took as an imitation of Alexius Comnenus. As pointed out on another thread that coin was Alexius but now believed to be from the Trebizond.

This coin, again cross on back, in fact a cross within a cross surrounded by a body of dots.  The reverse, has the ruler with scepter cruiceger ; holds in r. hand scepter cruciger and in l. Globus cruciger. , no legend I can see.

I just got the coin in today's mail.

No match in Bendalls "Intro to the coinage of the Empire of Trebizoid." Also http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/articles/Bendall_Trebizond/Bendall_Trebizond.pdf  a paper post by another friendly member on another board.
