<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 8234584, member: 84744&quot;]I enjoy these sorts of mistakes in medieval coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Beautiful example!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m quite excited about this new, very ugly acquisition:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1448366[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">Antioch. Anonymous. Follis (Bronze, 0.42 g, 15 mm), circa 1250-1268. A/N/T/I&nbsp; in angles of long cross pattée. Rev. L/Γ/L/7 (?) in angles of long cross pattée. CCS 132. Metcalf, Crusades, -. Wäckerlin 160</font></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s among the last, if not <i>the </i>last, Crusader products of the Antioch mint before the sack by Baybars in 1268.&nbsp; It&#039;s in pretty decent shape for the type, and I think allows a correction on the reverse legend.&nbsp; Previously thought to be A/N/T/V, I think this specimen makes it clear that isn&#039;t right.&nbsp; Supposing the photo is upside down, I&#039;ve given my interpretation above - basically just a pattern of 90 degree angles - not sure of the meaning, if any.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
