Byzantine Empire, Manuel II Palaeologus & John VIII Palaeologus, 19 January 1421 - 1423 or July 1425 A.D.
|Manuel| |II|, |Byzantine| |Empire,| |Manuel| |II| |Palaeologus| |&| |John| |VIII| |Palaeologus,| |19| |January| |1421| |-| |1423| |or| |July| |1425| |A.D.|, In A Private Collection of Palaeologan Coins, Simon Bendall writes, "The last nine issues (sigla 52 - 60), are of such distinct and poorer style, with Manuel wearing a domed crown, that there must have been an interval of time between the bulk of the coinage up to sigla 49 and the final issues. This last group must have commenced before 1421, since the last two sigla are shared by coins in the name of John VIII and of Manuel [includes this coin]. These coins were issued between 1421 when John was made co-ruler with his father and Manuel's death as the monk Mathew in July 1425. There is, in fact, one obverse die which shares reverse dies with both Manuel II and John VIII."
