English term

bezant

English to French Social Sciences History
A price was fixed at 100,000 bezants (then gold currency of Byzantium), and de Sable made a down payment of 40,000 bezants. This sum, available so soon after the defeat at Hattin, is enough to illustrate the order's financial strength.

Can't find if the French word for it is the same or different.
Thanks for your help.
