Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Baudouin II, who was the Count of Edessa and later became the King of Jerusalem, on one side, and an image of Jesus Christ on the other side. This coin was minted during Baudouin's second reign as Count of Edessa, and it highlights the strong Christian influence in the region during that time period.
