Cross pattée in center; in upper field to right, crescent downward. CCS -. Metcalf , Crusades, -. Wäckerlin 148. Darkly toned. Heavily clipped, otherwise, very fine.
The frequent appearance of carefully clipped deniers of Bohémond III perhaps indicates that the cutting to a size of an 'obol' was done officially by the mint of Antioch.
