Manuel II Palaeologus 1391-1425 AD. AR Half Stavraton (18mm, 3.60 g.). Constantinople, struck 1394/5-1399 AD. Facing bust of Christ Pantokrator. Rev. Crowned facing bust of Manuel. DOC 1326; PCPC 334.25. This coin is stylistically very near to the coinage of John VIII Paleologus 1399-1403, because of decentration and flatness is not readdable so its only the style which could determine it. Pierced, otherwise relatively clear portraits on both sides, Very Fine.
