Help identifying a late Byzantine AE coin #1
« on: July 30, 2023, 02:05:47 am »
I've spent enough time trying to figure this one out, so over to you.  It has the size & weight of a tetarteron.  The obverse is much like SB 1922, but the throne seems to have a back on this one.  The reverse is much like SB 1923, but the arm holding the scepter is angled down rather than up.

It is neither, I believe it is another type of coin, try Roger of Sicily
