I have added a wonderful example of SBCV-2154 a hard to find coin in superb condition. I have added to my gallery and to Best of type. Hope you like it. I wish I could get it to photography perfectly, the details on the Virgin are very sharp in hand, not as much in photos.

One seldom sees a clear face of Saint Mary and that nice on AE.

Thank You Sam, it is an issue we rarely see, I have another but smaller and Virgin Side not as nice, I fought hard at auction for this one and It is the best I have ever seen.

I have not updated in a while, my collection has expanded I just need more time to add.

I am lucky enough to get my third excellent example of a Thessalonica Lead Tetarteron of Alexius I . These are hard to come by in beautiful condition.

Simon, I agree with the others that your gallery is great. It is outside my areas of collecting but is a great resource and a pleasure to look at. Stkp

Simon · « **Reply #37 on:** February 07, 2019, 10:19:54 am »

Thank You Stkp, it is an interesting time in the Eastern Roman Empire, money usage and production was abundant. The most used coinage for the empire in the 12th century was the tetarteron. Regardless , very little is known about them and only occasionally new information is added

The coins are currently listed as three denominations, the ones that were minted in Constantinople contained silver ( Not much 3-4 % but a billion trachy was 8%) those coins are thought to be the equivalent to an old follis. The other two the tetarteron and a Half tetarteron.

I started another gallery just for trachea, Hyperpyron and Aspron Trachea.The Info is not complete yet and not everything is posted yet.

You have a fantastic collection of Byzantine coins Simon. This was the first time that I have had a chance to look at your gallery and even though I do not collect coins in this area I have enjoyed looking at your coins. A really nice collection.

Alex.

Simon · « **Reply #40 on:** February 07, 2020, 10:08:35 am »

Thank you Alex.

Forum has the best resource for looking up coins when the poster adds tags for search. I have done my best to keep it accurate and good photos.

Have a great weekend.

The FORVM search engine searches both the file title and the description of the coin written by the poster. You would only have to provide Keywords if the information was not already in either of those.

Hi Simon,

I enjoyed looking through your gallery.

I really like this one: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=5633&pos=3

Thank You Mark, it was an all around nice condition coin that had been circulated. I consider it to be my best example.
The Constantinople issues are hard to find, they contained silver like the trachea but really only circulated in Constantinople.

My wife made this coin same type that was only VF/VG in to a necklace.
