A coin for a friend.

Hi folks,
Every year some friends and I get each other some gifts for Saturnalia(christmas). It's usually nothing too much, but this year I wanted to get my friend something a little extra. It's been a hard year for all of us but especially hard for him. He likes the history surrounding the Crusades so that's where I got the idea for this coin.


Kingdom of Sicily. Fredrick II Billon Denaro

Great coin. It takes training to read the letters on this coin.

 

Nice! I'm sure he'll love it!

 

Thanks guys.

 

Nice one, he should be happy with it.

 

well, i think it's a cool gift for sure. is your friend a coin person or have they shown interest in your collection?

 

That is a very nice gift.

 

That's a great coin! I am sure your friend will be pleased.

 

Nice considerate gift.

 

A little. When I gave him and another good friend an Roman coin they were shocked. They are still in that "if it is this old then it should be in a museum" phase

 

I hear that or get that look all the time.

 

Does one of your friends happen to be Dr. Jones?



Definitely a really nice gift and very cool of you to do this for your friends. I'm not getting any coins from anyone IRL but I'll most likely be getting cash, which will be going towards the "ValiantKnight to FUN show or bust" fund

 

That's a very cool coin, Mag Max ... I'm sure that your friend will think it's a winner

 

A nice gift

 

Really cool. A few months ago I bought a Carthaginian coin for my daughters fiance who wouldn't shut up about Hannibal. Went down a treat.

 

Nice coin, M.M.
HE/she will really appreciate that.
Good choice.

 

IMHO I think that 'Crusader' coin is a great choice!

 

Thanks guys. I think he'll like it as well.
As for the coin, do I have the ID right? Is it Fredrick II of Sicily?

 

Nice coin and wonderful picture of it. I can't wait becoming your friend MM

Q

 

I am not sure whether this is Hannibal's portrait but is an interesting Carthaginian coin.
