Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Denier Tournois coin from the Lordship of Damala (Frankish Greece) made of Billon is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears an image of the Cross of Christ, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription reading "Al-Sultani al-Azam" (The Greatest Sultan), indicating the coin's use in the Islamic world. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex cultural and political dynamics of the Frankish Greece region during the 14th century.
