| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a stylized Frankish castle or tower motif, rendered in the characteristic medieval manner of Achaean deniers, set within the coin's field. The design shows a fortified structure with turrets, executed in low relief consistent with hammered billon coinage of the Principality of Achaea. The surrounding legend, separated from the central device, names the mint city of Glarentsa (Clarence) in Latin. The flan is irregular and slightly buckled, as is typical for this series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mathilde de Hainaut's tenure as Princess of Achaea was turbulent from the start — her claim was contested, her reign brief, and her authority over the Frankish lordships of the Morea never fully consolidated. She ruled through a period when the Latin principalities in Greece were fracturing under Angevin pressure and Byzantine resurgence, and her coinage reflects that instability: billon deniers of this type are scarce survivors of a mint operating under genuinely precarious political conditions.
Metcalf's cataloguing of the MA1/b variety distinguishes it from related Achaean issues by subtle die characteristics that point to a single short production window, consistent with Mathilde's two-year reign.
