Denier à la Tête Casqué Classe A Bohemond III Majorité

Bohemond III came to power as a minor following his father's death at the Battle of Harim in 1164, where a Crusader force was routed by Nur ad-Din's army — one of the worst Frankish military disasters of the twelfth century. The helmeted-head denier type issued under his majority represents the longest-running coinage of the Antiochene princes, struck across nearly four decades of a reign defined by shifting alliances with Byzantium, Armenian Cilicia, and successive Ayyubid rulers.

Metcalf's Class A designation groups the earliest majority issues, distinguished by die characteristics that predate later stylistic degradation in the series.
