Comment
G. LUNARDI 1985 - VOL II - RG16 (V 10)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.
