Text, Gold bezant coin, solar cross, inscriptions
European Museums, The British MuseumGold bezant coin, minted in Jerusalem, about A.D. 1250, imitating contemporary coins of the Ayyubid Dynasty. Islamic-style coinage. Egypt and Kingdom of Jerusalem, 1100-1300. The Christian crusader kings of Jerusalem started to use Fatimid gold coins, and to make their own imitations of them, in the 1140s. In the 1250s the pope protested about this, and new coin designs featured Christian symbols and text, though still in Arabic.
