I am looking for other examples of
John II Comnenus SBCV-1943 , while searching the web I found one on
Wildwinds but the other examples I found were misattributed , they key for the coin is
globus cruciiger in the Emperors left hand versus SBCV-1953 he holds a
mappa or
akakia.DOC mentions 3 examples at 30mm
I found 1 example at
Wildwinds, other than that no other examples to be found. The issues I saw sold and for sale were incorrect. Interesting enough , even though
Sear lists it as common both
Sommer and CLBC consider it to be very
rare. In fact
Sommer has the coin priced higher than any of John’s
gold coinage. Also
Doc and CLBC have it listed from
Constantinople but
Sommer puts forward it being minted in Nicosia.
Does anyone have any additional photographs or an example in their collection?Thanks in Advance.
Here is mine example of SBCV-1943 followed by my example of SBCV-1952
