Comment
G. LUNARDI 1985 - VOL II - RG4 (III 22)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Baldwin III, who was only 13 years old when he ascended to the throne. Despite his young age, Baldwin III was able to secure the support of the powerful nobles and church leaders, and he went on to rule the Kingdom of Jerusalem for 30 years, playing a crucial role in the Second Crusade.
