<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 3751750, member: 56653&quot;]The tornesello is a different type, made to supleant the tournois, that apparently had a gap in minting after Giovanni de Gravina. Most of the rule of Robert de Taranto, the Prince was either a minor or utterly uninterested in the Morea. This left a void in the central authority&nbsp; and in the coinage of the realms. The tornesello is a Venetian coinage that tries to fill the monetary void during the rule of Robert. Apparently there were no tournois minted by the baillies of Robert/the Regency until around 1356 (cf. Malloy).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
