How old is this Templar coin and what's depicted on it?

4 publicações
Hi, I recently purchased this Templar coin but it's raised more questions than answers. The person who sold it to me described it as a "Silver Crusader Cross Templar Coin 1100-1300 Medieval Excalibur Sword UK Knight" However, some believe it's a Demi-gros circa 1552 to 57 yet it's markings are clearly different. Some even believe it's a depiction of the Goddess Tanit, whom the Templar's worshiped, as recently debated in the Mystery of Oak Island series on the History Channel. Does anyone have a clear answer as to what this coin is and what year/years it was from? Thank you in advance!
Hello,

I think it is a silver Demi-gros from duchy of Lorraine (France), under Antoine (ANTHON in legend, you can read HON on your coin). Beginning of the 16th century, so no templar coin at all.

But it's not under the same ruler.

It's a nice coin.
OOH yes indeed a very nice coin!!!!
