<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4102786, member: 72790&quot;]A Medieval coin for use in the Holy Land with Arabic writing but with a Christion inscription is not at all bizarre. Recall that much of this region still had an indigenous Christian Arabic speaking population. Even today there are regions of Palestine and Lebanon, even Syria, which have a significant indigenous Christian population. For the Medieval Arabic speaking Christian population these coins may not have been so&nbsp; much an attempt to proselytize Muslims as an attempt to get that local Christian population to see the Franks as coreligionist liberators.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
