1333–1364 Crusader States – Principality of Achaea Denier
Robert of Taranto (1333–1364) • V25
A fascinating medieval coin from the Principality of Achaea, one of the last surviving Crusader states established in Greece after the Fourth Crusade.
Issued during the rule of Robert of Taranto (1333–1364), this silver denier represents the continuation of Latin Crusader rule in the Peloponnese (Morea) during the 14th century. The Principality of Achaea was founded in 1205 and became an important center of Western European influence in Byzantine Greece.
The coin features the heraldic symbols and medieval designs associated with the Latin rulers of Achaea, reflecting the blend of Western European and Byzantine influences that characterized the region.
Cataloged as V25, this medieval denier is an authentic artifact from the later Crusader period. Its small size and hand-struck production reflect the traditional coinage methods of medieval Europe.
