Isaac II Angelos Trachies
It's pretty cool to compare differences in strike and wear patterns between the same coins.

Finally acquired an Andronikos I trachy, completing a set of trachies from the Komnenian Dynasty.

Just wanted to share some coins I acquired in Paris during my visit.
I've always been interested in acquiring some Byzantine coins in order to get a literal "feel" of a piece of the Empire, and I was lucky enough to randomly find a street in Paris full of shops that sell ancient coins.
This is my first foray into numismatics, and I wanted to buy coins from my favorite dynasty. I hope to one day acquire a hyperperon of each emperor one day!
