Palaiologos coins

Palaiologos coins refer to currency issued by the Palaiologos dynasty, the last ruling imperial family of Byzantium (Byzantine Empire) from the 13th to 15th centuries. These coins include gold, silver, and bronze denominations, often featuring imperial portraits, religious symbols, and inscriptions in Greek. They reflected the empire’s political stability, economic conditions, and cultural identity during a period of decline and eventual fall to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. As historical artifacts, Palaiologos coins provide insights into Byzantine artistry, metallurgy, and imperial propaganda, serving as valuable collectibles and sources for understanding Byzantine history.
