Empire of Trebizond. Andronicus I Gidon (1222-1235). AR Aspron Trachy (27 mm, 2.88 g).
Obv. The Theotokos, nimbate, standing facing, right hand placed on chest, left hand raised in benediction; barred MHR ΘV flanking; star to left.
Rev. Christ, nimbate, standing facing, right hand placed on his chest, holding Gospels in left; barred IC XC flanking head; O/X/A/Λ to left, K/H/TH/ς to right.

Very rare and in unusually good condition. Extremely fine.

Although traditionally attributed to Andronicus I Comnenus, the work of Simon Bendall has shown that this aspron trachy was struck by Andronicus I Gidon, the Emperor of Trebizond. The Empire of Trebizond was established by Alexius I Comnenus after the Crusaders seized Constantinople and much of Greece in 1204. However, Andronicus I Gidon appears to have been the first ruler of Trebizond to strike coins.
