AE Byzantine seal of Constantine? Monasteriotes, magistros and doux (c. AD 12th–13th centuries)
Obv: Inscription of four lines: [Κω]ν(σταντῖνον) σκ[έπ]οις τὸν Μοναστ[η]ριώτην. Border of dots.
Rev: Inscription of four lines: μά[γι]στρον [μ]ε (καὶ) Δούκαν. Border of dots.
Translation: (Lord), may you protect me, Constantine Monasteriotes, magistros and doux.
Very Rare. The name on the first line is obscure except for the last letter N. Cf. Wassiliou-Seibt, Corpus 1376 (but his title is sebastos).
According to Wassiliou-Seibt, the family name Monasteriotes likely derives from the toponym Monasterion, present day Bitola, in North Macedonia.
