1954var JOHN II AE HALF TETARTERON S-1954V DOC NL CLBC NL Hand Raised Variation

OBV Full length figure of Christ standing on a dais, bearded and nimbate, wearing tunic and kolobion; right hand raised high in benediction holds Gospels in l. hand.

REV. Bust of emperor wearing stemma, divitision and chlamys; holds in r. labrum headed scepter and in l. Globus cruciger.


Size 19mm

Weight 2.6 gm

Several examples of this coin have been identified; the only variation is the R. hand is raised much higher than normal as if a blessing. I have seen enough examples of this coin with the variation for it to be an unlisted issue. However, I did discuss this coin with Dr. Zervos and he did not agree, nor did Val (One of the authors of CLBC)
