Beschrijving voorzijde Central field depicts a crowned seated figure, imitating the royal effigy of Robert d'Anjou, enthroned and facing forward, holding a sceptre in the right hand and an orb or globus cruciger in the left; flanking kneeling figures appear at lower left and right in a presentation scene. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a peripheral legend in a corrupted or pseudo-Latin script imitating the Neapolitan gigliat prototype. The rendering is notably cruder than the Angevin original, characteristic of Beylik workshop imitative production.
Schrift voorzijde Latin (pseudo/imitative)

Aanvullende informatie

The Aydinid beylik, operating out of western Anatolia under Umur Beg, issued imitations of Angevin gigliati as a direct commercial response to the coin's dominance in Aegean trade. Robert of Anjou's gigliato had become the de facto currency of eastern Mediterranean merchants, and local rulers found it more practical to produce convincing copies than to establish competing monetary systems from scratch. Umur Beg's fleet was actively raiding Aegean coastlines through the 1330s and 1340s — the same waters where these coins circulated.
