<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 8283610, member: 56653&quot;]I keep my eye out for any interesting tournois, and even if I don&#039;t buy, I&#039;m usually aware. Your coin is interesting not just as an early tournois of Athens, but it shows the amount of Genoese influence that Guillaume seemed willing to perpetuate, even as a nominal vassal to the Prince of Achaea, which was (also) an Angevin fief. In 1285 Charles d&#039;Anjou died and his heir was in Aragonese imprisonment, which could provide some of the context for Guillaume&#039;s decision to mint billon denier tournois -- practically going for a degree of autonomy that might not have happened otherwise. Tl;dr -- not only is your coin rare, it&#039;s also historically significant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
