j_hewes Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 06/28/2016 11:55 pm I got a group of these at an auction several months ago, and haven't had any luck digging up further information about them. Each one is abt. 17.5mm and 0.6-0.85gm. They have a faint cross countermark on the center of the obverse. I have only upload one set of images. Can someone provide more information about them?

There's a good reference online at: http://www.numismatas.com/Forum/Pdf...rusaders.pdf I think your coin is on page 54 or 55. Edited by Kamnaskires 06/29/2016 10:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
