Good Very Fine. Very Rare.
From a private European collection.
The deniers of Louis de Burgundy are very rare. It has been suggested that this is because Louis only arrived in Greece during the last year of his reign and his coins were minted in the period of around a month between his victory at the battle of Manolada and his death (cf. Metcalf p. 266).
