1163-1201 Antioch Crusader Silver Denier Bohemond III NGC AU-50

This silver denier was struck during the Principality of Antioch under Bohemond III, who ruled from 1163 to 1201 during the height of the Crusader States. The coin represents one of the most fascinating periods in medieval numismatics, when European crusaders established their own mints in the Holy Land and issued coinage that blended Western and Eastern artistic traditions.

The obverse features a helmeted bust of Bohemond III facing right, surrounded by a Latin inscription and decorative elements typical of Crusader coinage. The reverse displays a prominent cross with decorative flourishes in the quarters, symbolizing the Christian nature of the Crusader kingdoms and reflecting the religious fervor that drove the Crusades.

This example has been graded AU-50 by NGC, indicating About Uncirculated condition with light wear on the high points but well-preserved detail throughout. The coin exhibits good eye appeal with clear devices and legible inscriptions, making it an excellent representative of Crusader numismatics. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
