Abstract

Retaining its important commercial port center position for a long period, Kadikalesi/Anaia stands out especially with its Medieval coin finds. The numerical superiority in the coin finds of the Anaia excavation, which has been going on for nearly twenty years, is in the coins belonging to the Nicaean Empire and the Late Byzantine/Palaiologan Period dating between the 13th and 14th centuries. In our study, Anaia Hoard C including 33 copper trachea and stamena, will be introduced, and suggestions regarding the coins containing overstrike and the periods they may belong to will be presented.
