<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 673586, member: 6370&quot;]Crusader coins is a broad swath of coins minted by crusader kingdoms...like the Bohemond III coin, he was the latin prince of Antioch. Most of what we consider crusader coins are coins minted by what we now call latin rulers of areas of the so called holy land.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is a coin of Bohemond...just one of the many latin rulers of the holy land and it can be truely considered a &#039;crusader&#039; coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.grifterrec.com/coins/crusader/i_bohemondIII_o2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>any coin minted by a crusader kingdom or even the latin rulers of Constantinople (crusaders sacked and took the city they were there to save) would be what we would deem &#039;crusader&#039;...also, this coin here. The coins above ARE crusader kings of Greek (ducal)states of Greece, Cyprus and Constantinople. They are true crusader coins, not just coin that happen to be minted at the time. Europe had a lot of coins being minted at this time, they are not all crusader.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then you have the coins like this one:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.stoa.org/albums/album173/Conrad.sized.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Struck in the name of Conrad I/III HRE by the Republic of Genoa...although not a crusader coin...it was a common coin type used by crusaders...like the euro of its day <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But IMO, the real crusader coins are those struck by the outremer (crusader states like the one I posted at the top)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
