Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the minority of Bohemond III, who was only 11 years old when he ascended to the throne of the Principality of Antioch in 1149. Despite his young age, Bohemond III was able to maintain power and secure the support of the local nobility, and this coin is a testament to the economic and political stability of the Principality during his reign.
