Christ, nimbate and holding the Book of Gospels in his left hand, stands to the right and crowns the emperor with his right hand, conferring divine legitimacy upon the reign. The legend ANDPONIKOC DECPOTHC identifies the emperor, while the sigla IC XC in the field denote Jesus Christ. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Andronikos I ruled for just over two years before a Constantinople mob tore him apart in the Hippodrome — one of the more gruesome ends in Byzantine imperial history. His reign was marked by a purge of Latin merchants in 1182 and a rapid deterioration of central authority, neither of which encouraged monetary stability. Bronze aspron trachea of this reign are accordingly scarce, the output constrained by both the brevity of the reign and the administrative chaos that defined it.
