| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bilingual inscription arranged within the flat, rough field of the coin, characteristic of the Crusader states' practice of incorporating both Latin and Greek lettering to address a mixed population. The letters B, A, Δ, N are disposed in the four quarters of the field, representing a contracted form of the ruler's name 'BALDWIN' in a mixed Latin/Greek epigraphic tradition. The flan is irregular and the strike is typical of hammered Crusader issues, with weak areas and uneven surfaces. No border or additional decorative elements are present, the design consisting solely of the abbreviated legend. |
