Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis - Tancred coin is that it features an image of St. Peter standing, which is significant because St. Peter is considered the patron saint of Antioch, and the coin's design may have been intended to reinforce the city's Christian identity during a time of religious and political turmoil in the region.
