SBCV 2383 of Andronicus II.
The device above left on the reverse is a Palaeologan monogram.
A very common type but good examples are hard to find - the two below are amongst the better ones I have on file.

to add a touch more, thanks much for the help, I would not have caught that ID,  both Sears and Grierson do not mention the star in the lower right field or Palaeologan monogram above cross in cicle on left.
