Interesting that it appears to have been cut down to a later, lighter standard.

Hi SC,

Many Milan coins from that time period have short, squared flans or cut flans.

I have a coin of the same type (Quattrino) that was issued by Filippo IV. My example has a short, squared flan. But I don't think my example was cut. Is it possible that coins of Filippo III were cut to conform to coins of Filippo IV?

Here is my Filippo IV example (first coin):

Hello, thanks for the reply and congrats for your web page 

Your assumption is very interesting, I didn't think it, maybe that's the reason
