| Obverse description | Central field features a plain cross with arms extending to a beaded inner circle, imitating the classic Tournois denier design. The cross divides the field into four quadrants. A circular Latin legend surrounds the beaded inner circle, reading +IohS PAChE, identifying the issuer as John (of Gravina), Prince of Achaea. The overall style is characteristic of the hammered billon deniers tournois produced in the Latin principalities of Greece, with irregular flan edges typical of the period. |
