Abstract

The paper presents the reasons for the appearance of the Byzantine silver coin (basilikon) during the first half of the 14th century. The basilikon coin was introduced shortly before 1304 by Emperor Andronikos in direct imitation of the Venetian silver ducat (grosso). The new coin was designed to replace the Latin coinage on the borders of the Empire as a result of Paleologian economic reforms and politics.
