I agree - CIVITAS has the good stuff.

Hi Ben and Josh.

in addition to the coins struck by the crusaders, there are also islamic silver and bronze coins struck under Saladin that you can
often pick up pretty cheap, especially if you can identify them and buy them unattributed (often sold as anonymous old Islamic coins
as most of us westerners aren't familiar with identifying islamic coins)

The fall of Acre in 1291 is generally considered to be the end of the Crusades era.

Nice coins, folks!

Thanks Laurent. Though I did just remove our Bohemond from the listing because LordM's is much nicer.
