Andronicus II Palaeologus, with Michael IX. 1282-1328. AV Hyperpyron (23.5mm, 4.00 g, 6h). Constantinople mint. Struck 1294-1303. Half-length facing figure of the Theotokos, orans, within city walls with six towers; uncertain sigla / Christ standing facing, crowning Andronicus and Michael, kneeling to left and right respectively, both wearing loros. DOC Class IIa 235-261 var. (uncertain sigla); PCPC 127; SB 2396; CNG 63, 1728 (same dies). Toned, a couple edge splits. VF.

With the sigla unclear on both this and the CNG 63 example, it is not possible to attribute this coin to the Thessalonica mint as was done previously. Consult from PCPC pp. 45-46 for Bendall’s criteria for his Thessalonican attribution.
