Good very fine
Ex Roma Numismatics London, auction 35, lot 1408 (offered as 1251 AD). The dates known to Balog and Yvon ended with 1258 and subsequently an end of the gold coinage of Accon resulting from the internal war of Saint Sabas was assumed. However, on our coin the date with a very clear sittîn for 60 is beyond doubt. The extra dot in the angle of the cross may well mark a resumption of coinage after an interruption.
