NGC GENUINE Silver Denier of Bohemond III PRINICIPALITY OF ANTIOCH - CRUSADER STATES
One of the most recognizable coins of the High Middle Ages, characterized by the innovative use of crescent punches to depict chain mail, ingeniously representing armor through simple, low-tech methods. This coin, a true embodiment of the Crusader states in the Levant, particularly the Kingdom of Jerusalem known as Outremer, was minted for the Principality of Antioch, established during the First Crusade. Over its history, Antioch oscillated between vassalage to Constantinople, the Kingdom of Jerusalem, or the Kingdom of Armenia, until its eventual conquest by Muslim forces under Baibars, the Mamluk Sultan of Egypt. Minted during the reign of Bohemond III, from 1163 to 1201 AD, this coin's obverse bears an abstract portrait of a crusader knight, leaving an enduring mark on history with its iconic design.
