Hi @Connect14,

Svoronos listed these as his #1917 as cast barbarous imitations. I believe these are now thought to be regular issue later AE from Ptolemaic Cyrenaica. Lorber's CPE II (still in preparation) should clear this up. The English translation for Svoronos 1917 is attached.

Poza tym o jakich ludach dokładnie mówimy?
Anglikom chyba zaczęło się żyć lepiej po odejściu Rzymian. Zwiększyła im się długość życia, bo nie musieli płacić podatków :-)

This coin is identified as:
Byzantine Empire, Andronicus II Palaeologus and Michael IX, 21 May 1295 - 12 October 1320 A.D.
Bronze assarion, 1.984g, 20.4mm, 180 die axis
DOC V 671; B-D LPC p. 86, 33; Grierson 1483; Bendall 166; Sommer 80.14; SBCV 2434
ANΔPONIKOC ΔECΠOTHC O ΠA, Andronicus standing facing, cruciform sceptre in right hand, akakia in left hand/ MIXAEΛ ΔECΠOTHC O ΠA, Michael standing facing, cruciform sceptre in right hand, akakia in left hand

That is probably correct but the coin is scyphate and no legends are visible. I am less than certain. Any other possibilities? Or is it correct? Thanks for any help!
