Comment
The iconography is inspired by coins minted in the county of Tripoli (see example in link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Raymond V, who was the Count of Provence and Forcalquier from 1148 to 1194. During his reign, he supported the troubadours and poets of the region, which helped to establish Provence as a center of culture and learning. This coin, made of billon and weighing 0.65 grams, is a tangible reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Marquisate of Provence during that time.
