Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of John of Ibelin, who was also known as John of Beirut, and was a prominent noble in the Kingdom of Jerusalem during the 13th century. He played a significant role in the political and military affairs of the kingdom, and his coinage reflects the economic and cultural influences of the time. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice in the region during this period, and the weight of the coin, 0.73 grams, was a standard denomination for the denier coin.
