Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of William II, who was the Prince of Achaea from 1245 to 1278, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Principality of Achaea was under Frankish rule, and it is an example of the type of currency that was used during this period.
