| Reverse description | Central field features a plain Latin cross pattée within a raised beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four equal quadrants. The cross is boldly struck with slightly splayed arms and a recessed center. The outer legend, running between the beaded inner circle and the irregular coin edge, reads PHS D SAB P ACHE, an abbreviated inscription identifying Philip of Savoy as Prince of Achaea. The lettering is in a characteristic Frankish Gothic minuscule style, with a cross pommée as the initial mark. The flan is broad but irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production at the Mint of Glarentza. |
