Obverse description Four-line Greek inscription arranged within a double incuse circle occupying the central field. The legend reads + BA / ΓΔOY / IN XO / [MI], an abbreviated Greek invocation identifying Baldwin by name and invoking Christ. The lettering is bold and crudely executed in the hammered style typical of Crusader Edessan coinage, with the enclosing double circle serving as the sole decorative border element.
