Commentary
Or pâle. Flan bombé (scyphate). Variété très intéressante avec le K, surmonté de trois points posés en triangle à gauche de la Vierge dans les murailles. H. Berk signale que ce type doit être rendu à Andronicus II et Andronicus III Paléologue entre 1325, date à laquelle il fut associé au pouvoir par son grand-père et 1334, date de la disparition du monnayage. Le dit grand-père est décédé deux ans plus tôt, mais continue à être associé au monnayage.
Pale gold. Domed flan (scyphate). Very interesting variety with the K, surmounted by three points placed in a triangle to the left of the Virgin in the walls. H. Berk indicates that this type must be given to Andronicus II and Andronicus III Palaiologos between 1325, the date on which he was associated with power by his grandfather and 1334, the date of the disappearance of the coinage. The said grandfather died two years earlier, but continues to be associated with the coinage
