Description

Deniers tournois coinages were issued in enormous quantities in medieval Mainland Greece and adjoining territories (Achaia, Athens, etc.) in the 13th and 14th centuries. The database of coin finds, within the primary and secondary (especially in Italy, Albania-Macedonia-Bulgaria, and Anatolia) areas of circulation, has augmented steadily over the last decade and we are now able to view the usage of such coins in different and more precisely defined historical contexts.
