| Beschrijving keerzijde | Frontal standing figure of the emperor Konstantin Tih Asen in imperial regalia, depicted in the Byzantine manner holding a patriarchal cross — a long-stemmed cross with double traverse bars — in the right hand. The figure is rendered in low relief on the concave (scyphate) flan, consistent with the hammered technique of medieval Bulgarian copper trachea. The garments display stylized folds typical of 13th-century Bulgarian imitations of Byzantine iconographic convention. A suspension hole is visible at the upper left of the flan, and the surfaces exhibit heavy green patination and wear. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Konstantin Tih came to power in 1257 through marriage to the Asen dynasty rather than by blood, a political arrangement that defined his entire reign and made his coinage a deliberate assertion of dynastic legitimacy. His trachea — the scyphate copper fabric inherited from Byzantine monetary convention — were struck during a period of intense pressure from Mongol overlordship following the Battle of Tirnovo's political fallout and the empire's submission to the Golden Horde. The Bulgarian copper issues of this period circulated alongside debased Byzantine trachea, making attribution genuinely difficult without provenance.
