Frankish copper coin
There are seven different types of copper coin that were minted in Thebes in the thirteenth century, and they can be distinguished based on their iconography and inscriptions. One of the earlier types features a gateway, like this coin, which copies that found on the Genoese denaro, perhaps in order to accommodate trade with the Genoese, many of whom were living in Thebes.
