Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a crowned king, likely Raymond Roupen, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Crusader's cross, which was a symbol of the Christian Crusades. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex cultural and political dynamics of the Principality of Antioch during the 13th century.
