Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Peter II ND (1369-1382) from Kingdom of Cyprus (Crusader and Christian states in the Eastern Mediterranean) made of Copper weighing 0.59 g 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 Peter II, while the reverse side features a cross and a crescent moon, symbolizing the religious diversity of the Kingdom of Cyprus during the Crusader period. This blending of religious symbols is a rare example of interfaith dialogue and cooperation during a time of religious conflict in the region.
