History of the Artifact
If you’ve ever wanted to own a genuine piece of Medieval Crusader history, these original 12th century silver coins minted in the Crusader State of Antioch are just what you are looking for! As with all artifacts sold in our store, these coins are authentic and NOT replicas, alongside your purchase, you will receive a certificate of authenticity.
These silver deniers, also known as pennies, were issued in honor of King Bohemond III (1163-1201), who met Richard of England (Lion Heart) as well as Guy de Lusignan (Famously depicted by Marton Csokas in the 2005 Hollywood Blockbuster 'Kingdom of Heaven') during the siege of Acre in the summer of 1191. King Bohemond was also part of the Third Crusade, in which three European monarchs, including Richard of England, tried to take back the Holy Land from Saladin, from 1189 to 1192.
The coins offered were minted in Antioch, (In modern day South Eastern Turkey) captured in 1098 during the First Crusade. The obverse of the Denier depicts a chain-mail-wearing Crusader Knight wearing a helmet. On the reverse we read BOAMVNDVS (Latin name of King Bohemond) and ANTIOCHIA.
The Crusader coins you will receive will be of very similar size and quality as the ones shown in the pictures. A coin similar to the ones pictured is guaranteed or your money back! The display case included is openable so that you may easily handle and closely observe the artifact.

The delivery took quite a while, but this has nothing to do with the saler. I am very happy with my purchase, having a real piece of history in my home is really cool. The little display case looks nice and sturdy.
Fast shipping came in great condition well package.
Coin is very beautiful. Five stars.
All perfect packaging and excellent delivery times. It was a real pleasure
The button arrived upside down in the display case so I had to open it up and fix it before gifting. Other than that everything was great! Neat gift.
Fast shipping, the coin came with COA and was exactly as pictured! Thank you!

Comes with the little display case and everything advertised in the picture. Awesome store

I like the coin a lot, it is a very nice piece of history. Fits perfectly in to my collection. Delivery was on time and packaging very good. The case that it is in is just so nice it looks like in a museum. :)
Amazing! I love both the coins I got from here!! I can’t wait to give them to their recipients for Christmas!
The Coin and case is awesome! The only additional thing that could make it perfect would be a little description of what/who the coin faces represent and possibly where the specific coin was found. Otherwise very content
They were so helpful and patient with me I couldn’t be more grateful. They gave me such good service and such fast shipping I’m buying another coin when I get paid again!! I’m going to continue buying from these guys, it looks even better in person. It’s everything I was hoping for:) I’m obsessed with it it looks amazing in my collection:)
