Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John I of Brienne, who was the King of Jerusalem from 1210 to 1225. Despite being made of billon, a silver-copper alloy, the coin still contains .250 silver, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
