In the 1330s and 1340s, however, the basilikon's weight was much reduced, as a result of a silver shortage affecting all of Europe and the Mediterranean, falling to 1.25 grams by the late 1340s.
Nas décadas dos 1330 e de 1340, con todo, o peso do basilikon reduciuse moi considerablemente, por mor dunha escaseza de prata que afectou a toda Europa e o Mediterráneo, e chegou a caer ata 1,25 gramos.
