<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 7811916, member: 56653&quot;]The best advice that could be given in this situation has already been given: buy the Malloy book and get familiarized with the realms and the coinages. Then start with the readily available material in auction (that you&#039;ll probably find not very expensive) -- mostly the copper coinage of Antioch in the early 1100s and the billon deniers of Bohemond from the second half of the 12th century and some billon coinages from the Greek Frankokratia (Glarentza, Thebes, Lepanto, etc). Another direction of interest would be to go for the European coinages that were used by the crusaders as presented by Raymond d&#039;Aguilers (&#039;erat haec nostra moneta&#039;). Some of these are also very available and many come right from Middle Eastern finds, being a very close connection to the movements of the crusaders themselves. Once you&#039;ve done this you&#039;ll be able to decide for yourself what suits your interests best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
