thats a good idenifty. sadly, like OP says, the Latin emperors issues cant be attributed to anyone specifically.

Theoretically, these coins may have been minted from melted down Roman statues in Constantinople, but that may only be from a small fraction, as these are pretty common coins Decent example tho

I don't think this is a crusader coin specifically, it's definitely a Byzantine trachy though. Just not sure if it's crusader-era.
