| Reverse description | Central field bearing a stylized cross pattée or processional cross motif, boldly struck in the hammered fashion typical of Crusader pougeoise coinage. The cross device dominates the flan, with surrounding elements suggesting floral or pellet ornaments in the quarters. The peripheral legend reads +GIRARDVS, referencing Girard Grenier, Lord of Sidon during the mid-12th century. The overall execution is characteristic of the rough artisanal standard of Outremer copper coinage of this period. |
