Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Helena Angelina Comnena, the wife of Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos, on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Barony of Carytaena, which was a Frankish principality in Greece during the 13th century.
