[QUOTE="seth77, post: 3473831, member: 56653"]The green denier tournois is probably a local Greek/Thracian/Albanian issue copying the tournois of Arta around 1325 for Giovanni II Orsini of Kephalonia who ruled as a self-styled Despot of Romania (Epirus) from 1323 to 1335. The legends should read IOhS DESPOTVS DE ARTA CASTRV or similar, mostly these base metal copies have aproximative legends. See for comparison: [ATTACH=full]924084[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
