Latin Rulers of Constantinople SB 2038? Bust of Mary
« on: February 02, 2019, 06:38:08 am »
I recently acquired this interesting Ae trachy.  It measures approximately 26.18 mm and weighs 2.88 g.  I believe that it has  Christ enthroned facing  on the obverse and a bust of Mary facing, both hands raised on the reverse.  I think that it is an issue of the Latin Rulers of Constantinople SB 2038.  Am I correct?  Pogh_poor
All passes, Art alone Enduring stays to us; The Bust out-lasts the throne,-- The coin, Tiberius.

I know how difficult these coins are to attribute my hat off to you,  but I am seeing perhaps a mule. What you consider as Christ looks a bust of Mary and the other side Mary in standing in Orans position?

The reverse looks to be pretty clearly SB 2038 and obverse less clearly so.  Here is an example that looks fairly close:
