Crusader States, Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. Commune of Acre. Anonymous royal coinage. 1231-1243. BI denier (19 mm, 0.84 g, 2 h). + REX IERL'M, cross pattée / MONETA REGIS, patriarchal cross flanked by Α and ω. Metcalf 146; CCS 52. VF. Extremely rare.

From the Kenneth Miller Collection of Ake-Ptolemaïs and Related Biblical Coins.

Plausibly attributed to the Third Crusade, the anonymous "moneta regis" billion deniers from the Commune of Acre have been found in only two hoards, neither of which contained any other coins. The first was found at Nahal 'Ahmud near Tiberias, the second at Kfar Nahum near Capernum.
