Byzantine Empire, Manuel II Palaeologus, 25 September 1373 - 1423 A.D.
|Manuel| |II|, |Byzantine| |Empire,| |Manuel| |II| |Palaeologus,| |25| |September| |1373| |-| |1423| |A.D.|, Manuel's half stavrata with this reverse legend (which translates: "Manuel who is faithful to Christ the Lord") comprise the "Pistos" (Faithful) series. The "Pistos" series, numbers about half the quantity of half stavrata of the "Imperial" series, with the normal basileus legend (which translates: "King Manuel Palaeologus"). In A Private Collection of Palaeologan Coins, Simon Bendall asserts, "Evidence suggests there were two mints in Constantinople -- the imperial mint producing coinage for the emperor's needs and a public mint where the members of the public could bring in bullion or plate to be turned into money. The "Pistos" coins were probably the production of this public mint at Constantinople."
