CRUSADERS. Duchy of Athens. Guillaume I de la Roche, 1280-1287. Obole (Copper, 15.5 mm, 0.56 g, 3 h). + :G: DVX: ATЄNЄS: Shield bearing the de la Roche arms. Rev. + :TЄBЄS: CIVIS: around cross pattée. CCS 81. Metcalf, Crusades 866. Tzamalis Φ 83 (but with the reverse legend reading as on the illustration taken from Schlumberger p. 338 and pl. XIII, 1, but not as given in the text). One of the greatest rarities of the coinage of the Duchy of Athens; perhaps the second example to appear on public sale in over 30 years and by far the better one. Good very fine.

From a Dutch collection.
