The listing, ***CRUSADE COIN*** TEMPLAR DOLLAR -100% AUTHENTIC GUARANTEED has ended.
100% Authentic.
This is a Silver Denier, it is very thin -actually much thinner than our pennies, but almost the same width of today's pennies.
SPECIFICATIONS;
JERUSALEM, AMUARY
DATE: 1163-1174 AD
CROSS PETTEE (FRONT)
FULL MOONS IN 2 QUARTERS of the cross
"DE IERVSALEM" (FRONT)
"AMALRICVS REX" (BACK) letters on the coin are there but somewhat hard to make out in some areas due to wear and condition.
TRANSLATED; "CHURCH OF RESURRECTION."
ON THE BACK; NOT SURE OF THE IMAGE I BELIEVE IT'S. A CASTLE.
NOTE: This coin is very old and it is very thin, it is wavy in one spot, and looks to have come close to being broken in one spot near the edge. However, this coin has excellent definition and is a real piece of history that you can hold. Now, silver turns black over time but that is a desirable color because it helps prove authenticity. I know some people do send these off to be cleaned by a professional to make the details stand out. That will be up to you. The coin you see here is the one you get.
