Glebe Posted October 10, 2023 · Member Share Posted October 10, 2023 There is of course no hard evidence linking this type (S.2148) and the other anonymous "Christ Chalkites" types to Trebizond generally or Andronicus specifically, and the fabric and workmanship of S.2148 is rather different from that of its presumed successor, the rare silver trachy S.2600 of Manuel I Comnenus of Trebizond. Basically, for the moment the attribution of S.2148 to Gidon seems to be based mainly on "who else?". A not unreasonable argument perhaps, but hardly conclusive.
