Comment
G. LUNARDI 1985 - VOL II - RG14 (III 26)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins in the Middle Ages, but it weighed only 0.65 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar size and material. This suggests that the coin may have been designed to be easily portable and accessible to people of all social classes, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce in the Kingdom of Jerusalem during that time.
