| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bareheaded bust of Bohemond III facing right, depicted in a simple, somewhat stylized manner characteristic of Crusader coinage of the minority period. The effigy is rendered within a beaded inner circle, with the head shown in profile displaying rudimentary facial features. The Latin legend BOAMVNDVS surrounds the bust in the outer field, partially visible along the coin's irregular periphery. A small cross device appears in the lower right field beside the bust. The overall die work reflects the provincial hammered style typical of Antiochene billon deniers of the mid-twelfth century. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain Latin cross with equal arms centered within a beaded inner circle, occupying the full reverse field. The cross is boldly struck and unadorned, with slightly splayed terminals on each arm. Surrounding the inner circle is the Latin legend * ANTIOCHIA, reading clockwise around the outer border of the coin. The lettering is separated from the inner circle by a plain annulet border, consistent with Crusader denier typology from the Principality of Antioch. The overall composition is austere and functional, reflecting the standard reverse design employed throughout the Antiochene denier series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bohemond III inherited the Principality of Antioch as an infant following the catastrophic Battle of Inab in 1149, where his father Raymond of Poitiers was killed by Nur ad-Din's forces and famously beheaded. The regency passed first to his mother Constance and then became a prolonged political contest involving the Byzantine emperor Manuel I, the Latin patriarch, and competing baronial factions. The "minority" designation on this type reflects that unstable interregnum — coinage continued, but authority behind it was genuinely contested.
Metcalf's die study identified meaningful variation across the 341–345 sequence, suggesting production across multiple years rather than a single emission.
