4004545. A Byzantine gold coin, 13th-14th century, electrum, hyperpyron.
Description
Diameter approx. 24 mm, weight approx. 4 g
Provenance: Marie-Louise Smith (1927-2014) and then gift and bequest to the current owner. The coins were acquired at coin auctions and in coin shops between about 1960-2000.
Coin collecting has a long tradition within the Smith family where Marie-Louise Smith's grandfather Otto Smith (1864-1935) was a significant coin collector and who in 1929 donated the lion's share of his collection of coins from antiquity to the then Royal Mint Cabinet. The coins inherited by Marie-Louise Smith were used as the framework for exchanging and buying new coins to shape the collection of Byzantine gold coins now sold here.
