<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancientcoinguru, post: 3181309, member: 75563&quot;]Nice medievals [USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER]!&nbsp; I enjoyed seeing another coin minted by a “King of Jerusalem”</p><p><br /></p><p>Your comment about the lion motif led me to do some research.&nbsp; I’m certainly not a medieval expert, but my preliminary research showed Henri II and his successor, Hugo IV von Lusigan (1324-1359) using a lion throne on their coins.&nbsp; What was the significance of the lion throne to the Lusignan Kingdom of Cyprus?&nbsp; Perhaps it was simply to show “the seat of the ruler.”&nbsp; Or is it a reference to the famous Lion Throne of King Solomon, the son of David, mentioned in the Bible?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
