<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 2944418, member: 87080&quot;]Hi [USER=38412]@7Calbrey[/USER] the coin is from the Lusignan Kingdom of Cyprus. The large cross on the reverse, the Jerusalem cross, was used on their coins for two centuries or more. The obverse, with the lion is somewhat legible, and it looks to me that it starts with +IACO which probably spells out IACOMUS or IACOBUS, Latin for James. There were several James that ruled Cyprus, so it&#039;s hard to say which one minted this coin without more research. The coin though is definitely 14th or 15th century, long after the fall of the Crusader states in the Levant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
