Hello I'm trying to find out whether my coin is legit or not. I know it's from the Tripoli era from what I found. It took me a long time to find a picture of it Internet of the same coin I have. But none of the ones I have found are the exact same. On my coin I have a crescent moon or they get backwards see right above the top of the cross. I have yet to find one similar to mine and I'm hoping someone has seen this specific coin before. Thank You
You coin is trying to be a County of Tripoli Crusader Gros, issued under Bohemond VII, as the authentic example below. Yours is sadly a cast reproduction (evident from the 'sandy' detail, and the anomalies in the fields that you have identified), of little value.
