Denier - Baldwin III Tower of David - honed type

Baldwin III came to nominal power as a child in 1143 but ruled under his mother Melisende's regency until forcing her out of government around 1152 — a period of genuine dynastic friction that makes the date range on these deniers politically untidy. The "honed type" designation distinguishes this variety by the sharpened rendering of the Tower of David motif, a differentiation that matters for attributing issues across a coinage that changed little in design across multiple reigns.

The Tower of David itself was the citadel of Jerusalem, not Solomon's tower, a medieval misnomer that stuck.
