Good day everyone,
i just got this beauty and i still wonder if its Andronicus Ii and III or John V and VI.
The siglas are N X.
Any opinion is appreciated.
Thanx
Alex

This coin (and the Savoca coin) seem to be examples of the standard Andronicus II & Andronicus III hyper with Siglum 15. Both rulers here seem to be bearded and there are no extra columns of dots to the left and right of Christ. On a John V & John VI type John V is normally beardless, and there are extra columns of dots.

For more details see here:

Note that on Bendall's supposed Type V of John V & John VI the N is reversed.

Thanx Ross, i used the site you gave me as well.
there is something on the right side of Christ that looks like a star, but it may be as well bad abbreviation of XC. 
I adore these coins.
