| Reverse description | A stylized castellated tower or château, depicted frontally with a central keep and flanking turrets, rendered in bold relief within the coin's field. This device is the heraldic symbol of the Principality of Achaea and alludes to Clarentza (Glarentza), the principal mint city. A circular legend surrounds the central device, reading DE CLARENTIA*, denoting the mint of Clarentza. The design and lettering are characteristic of the denier tournois series struck by the Frankish rulers of the Morea. |
