Emperor Standing / Christ enthroned, inscriptions in fields. Excellent dark green patina, Very nice for the type.
The knights of the Fourth Crusade set up a Crusader kingdom known as the Latin Empire or Romania based on Constantinople after sacking the city in 1204. They intended it to be a Roman Catholic successor of the Byzantine Empire. Baldwin IX, Count of Flanders, was crowned the first emperor May 16, 1204.
A nice trachy, from later types. These trachies were issued by the various Crusader Emperors - they are almost always extremely crude, rarely seen as nice as this piece.
This coin is guaranteed to be authentic.
