Do you know the provenance of this trachy? It's important. Size and weight?

btw... the coin is listed in Sear's catalogue under no. 2599.

Thank you friend!

The main question on this type is - who is depicted of the obverse?!?! Probably it is St. Andronicus, bot some prefer to believe - a nimbate Andronicus Gidon. A better photo of this area (the head, after some cleaning) will help us resolve the question:)))))
