| Notes: | Study Collection. Data Entry Funded by the Kress Foundation. The Saint on the reverse ought not to be bearded if St. Demetrius, but the inscription appears to be that given by Hendy for his highly similar Type C (p. 276) trachy of Manuel. No parallel for the treatment of Emperor's loros. Style is too good for an imitation. | |
