Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aspron Trachy (Hendy Type D) coin from the Latin Empire of Constantinople (Frankish Greece) is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Latin Empire was established after the Fourth Crusade in 1204 and lasted until 1261, and during this time, the empire faced numerous challenges, including territorial disputes and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the Aspron Trachy coin remained a widely used and valued form of currency throughout the empire, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce during this period.
