Finds From Wirral – Billon trachea coin

This is another very unusual find for our area. It is a Billon trachea coin of the Byzantine Empire dating to AD 1204-61. PAS have speculated that this may be a modern loss but a small collection of Byzantine coins were discovered at Meols so it may well have a story to tell.

The reverse is less worn and in the top photograph it is possible to see the emperor standing.
