Byzantine Empire. John II Comnenus (1118-1143 AD). Aspron Trachy (No reserve price)
This Aspron Trachy coin belonged to the reign of Byzantine Emperor John II Comnenus (1118-1143 AD), part of the Komnenian dynasty that worked to restore the empire’s fortunes after earlier decline. The Aspron Trachy was a distinctive concave coin made of billon (a silver-copper alloy), characteristic of Byzantine coinage in the 12th century. Its unique shape and material reflect the monetary complexities of the time, while its imagery conveyed imperial authority. Coins from John II’s rule illustrate the blend of tradition and innovation during a revitalized Byzantine period.
