ARMENIA. LEVON THE USURPER, 1363-1365. Takvorin. The king on horseback r. Rv. Lion walking r., cross behind, an annulet above his head. 2.30 g. Bed. 2140 var.
Very fine for this issue.
Comment by E. Wäckerlin: Whether there was ever such a ruler as "Levon the Usurper" is a matter for discussion. The takvorins which are supposed to have been issued by him all have one or more annulets as distinguishing marks. This coin is weak at the edge but very well preserved for the type. Bought from Pavlos Pavlou, London, in Nov. 2013.
