This site is dedicated mainly to the study of the later coinage of Byzantium, particularly the issues of the Crusader and Palaeologan eras. It is primarily aimed at general collectors, with a view to expanding their understanding of the subject by providing them with important information to which they may not have had access, and with ideas which have not been previously broached in the literature, either popular or academic*.

The foundation article is a comprehensive study of the Thessalonican trachea of Andronicus III Palaeologus, designed to correctly date and assign these various types. Also included are my own ideas on the sequencing of the Thessalonican trachea of Andronicus II and Andronicus III Paleologus.

The site includes extended articles on general topics, short notes on specific topics and reports on individual coin types. Basic data and information used to support the articles and notes is included in a separate data section.
