Watch List notes:

CRUSADERS. Edessa. Joscelin I de Courtenay or Joscelin II (?), 1119-1150. Follis (Bronze, 21 mm, 2.85 g). Nimbate bust of Christ facing. Rev. Large cross in pelleted circle; in angles, pellets. CCS -. Metcalf, Crusader States, -. Wäckerlin -. Repatinated, otherwise, good fine.


This unusual follis is somewhat reminiscent of the issues attributed to Joscelin I or Joscelin II, but of poorer style and lacking any legends. It is perhaps a contemporary imitation.
