| Additional information |
Charles II was Prince of Achaea only nominally during these years — he spent most of 1285–1289 as a prisoner of the Aragonese, captured after the Battle of the Gulf of Naples in 1284. The principality's coinage continued to be struck in his name despite his captivity, administered by officials governing in absentia. Billon deniers of this type circulated alongside Frankish and Byzantine issues in the Peloponnese, a monetary environment already fragmented by decades of crusader state economics.
