Comment
G. LUNARDI 1985 - VOL II - RG5 (III 19)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Amalric I, who was the King of Jerusalem from 1163 to 1174. During his reign, the Kingdom of Jerusalem was facing significant challenges, including the threat of Muslim conquests and internal political instability. Despite these challenges, Amalric I was able to maintain the kingdom's independence and stability, and his coinage, such as this denier, reflects the economic and cultural achievements of the kingdom during this period.
