Abstract
About ten years ago, a find consisting of 636 coins, was bought in Constantinople. It remains uncertain as to when and where the find was originally located. The find then became the property of a New Yorker, Mr. Gevrekian. At present, only a small part of it remians in the possession of both Mr. Gevrekian and the writer of this article.
The coins of this find were minted by the three kings of the last period of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia — Constantine III, Levon the Tyrant, and Constantine IV —who ruled from 1344 to 1373. A study of the find results in certain revisions of the history of the time these kings were in power. It can also be asserted that the royalty minted coins that contained little silver, and were therefore discrepant in value with reference to other silver coins.
