Empire vassal of the Tsardom/Kingdom ?!

This is utter nonsense. Recent findings of gold coins of Ivan Asen II from 2019 clearly show that this territory from the Battle of Klokotnitsa at least until the death of the ruler is Bulgarian. Including Thessaloniki, where is the Money court of these gold coins. Who would cut their money in a foreign mint ?! The Dubrovnik Charter also explicitly states that Thessaloniki was within the boundaries of the Second Bulgarian State at that time. 85.11.171.206 (talk) 19:15, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
