Although there have been studies conducted on the coinage system and
the coinage iconography of the empire, which was established at the
end of 1203 by Alexios and David Komnenos, who were members of the
Byzantine Empire Dynasty and later became known as the Grand
Komnenoi, there is a need for more comprehensive studies on the
subject. By conducting comprehensive research at the museums within
the area the Trebizond Empire of once stood, more information and a
better understanding of the empire’s coinage system can be
attained.
In our study, selections of coins dated to the Trebizond
Empire from the Trebizond Museum were examined. Among the coins of
the Trebizond Empire registered in the Trebizond Museum inventory,
152 silver and copper coins that were able to be classified and
provide chronological data were selected for inclusion in the study.
The selected silver and copper coins from the Trebizond Empire date
from the period of Manuel I Komnenos (1238-1263) to the period of
Ioannes IV Komnenos (1446-1458).
