Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aspron Trachy coin is that it features an image of Alexios II Komnenos, the ruler of the Empire of Trebizond, on one side, and an image of the Virgin Mary on the other. This highlights the strong religious influence of the Byzantine Empire during that time period.
