CRUSADER STATES. Kingdom of Jerusalem. AV Bezant (Dinar), ND (ca. 1150-1260). Acre Mint. Baldwin III. EXTREMELY FINE.
Fr-1a; Malloy-4. Weight: 3.97 gms. Engraved in imitation of the gold coinage of Fatimid Caliph Al-Amir. An intriguing example from the short lived kingdom of Jerusalem, this type is somewhat contemporaneous with the 3rd Crusade. Nicely stuck, this piece displays very little evidence of handing on the lustrous gold surfaces.
Estimate: $250 - $500
