| Obverse description | Central field depicts a rampant lion facing left within an inner beaded circle, rendered in bold relief characteristic of late medieval hammered coinage. The lion holds a shield bearing a heraldic device, consistent with the arms of the House of Savoy-Piedmont. A Latin legend encircles the design within the outer border, reading PRINCEPS ACHAYE ZE, identifying the issuer as Prince of Achaea. The lettering is executed in Gothic script with characteristic abbreviation marks. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hammered gold florins of the period. |
