Comment
G. LUNARDI 1985 - VOL II - RG6 (III 25)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pougeoise - Guy of Lusignan (Holy Sepulcher) ND (1186-1190) coin from the Kingdom of Jerusalem is that it features an image of Guy of Lusignan, who was a prominent figure during the Third Crusade and later became the King of Jerusalem. The coin's design highlights the significance of the Holy Sepulcher, which is believed to be the site of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, and is considered a sacred place for Christians. The coin's copper material and relatively low weight of 1.3 grams also make it a unique and interesting artifact from the medieval period.
