Heather the Hoarder Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 03/14/2006 11:01 pm I can't remember for certain where I got it - probably from a local coin shop that sometimes gets interesting coins like this. When they turn up (which isn't all that often), they aren't as horribly expensive as one may think. If I remember correctly, this one was under $200 when I bought it about ten years ago. I have a coin similar to Sap's coin; it is from the crusader state of Antioch (Sap mentioned this). The ruins of the city of Antioch (the capital of the crusader state) are in modern-day Turkey.

Sap Moderator Australia 16828 Posts	Posted 03/15/2006 05:02 am KLD: As Heather said, it's from the Principality of Antioch, now in the Lebanon/Turkey/Syria border area, centred on the city of Antioch in what is now southern Turkey. The Wikipedia article on the Kingdom of Jerusalem has a map of the five "Crusader States" in the middle east. From south to north, they were: Kingdom of Jerusalem, County of Tripoli, Principality of Antioch, County of Edessa and the allied Kingdom of Armenia. They all issued their own coins at one time or another. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
