<p>[QUOTE="seth77, post: 3568784, member: 56653"]The Antioch deniers are likely to have a rather high title silver in the alloy. But you don't see many 12th century deniers with this patina, nor other billon coinage from the Holy Land prior to around mid 13th century. On the other hand it is a patina that you can see on later grosi of Tripoli (after 1268) although not on grosi of Louis IX or Charles I d'Anjou (1266-1270), even if they were found in the Holy Land. There is, I think, a difference in the billon that makes for this iridescent glare .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
