| Reversbeschreibung | Central device depicts a stylised castle or tower, rendered in the characteristic manner of the denier tournois type, representing the château of the mint city of Arta. The design is executed in bold, if somewhat crude, relief typical of provincial hammered billon coinage of the Latin East. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading + DE ART CASTRV, referencing the castle of Arta. The flan is irregular with uneven edges and minor metal flaws consistent with the production standards of early 14th-century Epirote issues. The reverse composition mirrors the Tournois tradition adapted to assert local dynastic authority. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
John II Orsini seized the Despotate of Epirus through the murder of his brother Nicholas in 1323, then ruled until his own wife — Anna Palaiologina — poisoned him in 1335. His coinage consciously mimicked the French denier tournois, a currency that had flooded into Greece via the Latin principalities and become the dominant small change across the Frankish-controlled Peloponnese and the Ionian coast. Adopting that format was a pragmatic political signal: Orsini was positioning himself within the western feudal order while simultaneously negotiating with Byzantium.
Metcalf 1138 is among the better-documented types from this mint, though attribution to specific regnal years within his reign remains difficult.
