<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 5236847, member: 97383"]Earlier this year I bought an interesting medieval coin from Cilician Armenia, that depicted the king Levon I. I can remember reading about this king & the important part he played in the 3rd Crusade & his victories over the Seljuk Turks. For a short time he even controlled the Principality of Antioch. I've seen many of these coins at auction over the years & they appear to be common, never the less, I decided to add one to my collection <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1217490[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Cilician Armenia, King Levon I, AD 1199-1219, Sis Mint.
