My 6th grade daughter played her first football game tonight - and her team, known as the "Crusaders", won 24 to 14. This is middle school 8 man tackle football, and she weighs in at 86 lbs wringing wet, and is the only girl on the team. She is the 3rd string punter, and this game, she was on the line of the punt unit. Since this is her first year, she only got in on 2 plays, but that's fine by Dad.
Please post a coin with a crusader or even mounted horseman on it!

Excuse me not being thrilled. I'm sick of the politically correct crap. I don't think gays should be allowed to marry, nor females serve in combat units, nor girls playing on a boys football team. That is just sick.

Geez dude, take a chill pill.
I do not see a reason to answer a post to just seem, to me anyway, to be rude.

No. Too bad. Too bad. No, it's not.
That being said, very cool to hear about your daughter being active and involved, Clay - in anything positive. Keep up the good work!
Booker T. Washington was a crusader for equality (plus I don't have an image of any Sovreigns):

Congrats on the win.

i met a female mp that had both of her legs blown off, and helped evac a female mechanic after a mortar attack. there's no such thing as a non-combat unit in theater. not saying they're all perfect, but for every dead-weight deployment queen, there are even more useless male profile-riding shammers.
people should do what they're capable of, not what ignorant people expect them to be capable of.
claychaser- gratz on your kid's first game!

Darned straight, bluelobster. "amigo" (not!), I for one find your attitude most unwelcome here.
claychaser, pass along my congratulations to your daughter on her first game. And here's a horse pic for her; my cousin on 1 of 6 horses he and his wife own. My 13yo daughter loves horses too, and has ridden "Boomer":

A treasure trove of archaeological relics, the ancient city of Jaffa has yielded another rare find. An archaeological team from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), headed up by Martin Peilstöcker and Amit Re’em, unearthed an extremely rare coin in Jaffa’s flea market. It dates to the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem (1099-1291), the feudal state created by the first Crusaders.
Staff from the IAA Coin Department identified the artifact as a Frankish silver half drachma, minted during a brief six-year period between 1251 and 1257. It was found in the remains of a 13th century house, along with ceramics from the same period.
Etched on the coin are a cross and various other symbols, including a half-moon and a bird. An Arabic inscription describes the Trinity: al Ab (the Father), al Bin (the Son) we-al Rukh al Kuds (and the Holy Spirit). Barely discernible on the perimeter of the coin are the words, “Thine is the glory forever and ever.”
During the 12th and 13th centuries, coins copied from the gold dinars and silver dirhems of the Islamic Fatimid and Ayyubid rulers were minted in Antioch and Tripoli. On a visit to the area in 1250, the official emissary from Rome, Bishop Eudes de Chateauroux, ordered an end to coins inscribed with the name of Mohammed, the Moslem prophet, reporting the practice to Pope Innocentius IV. The Pope responded with threats to excommunicate anyone minting coins with the name of the Moslem prophet on them. Historians believe that the Christian inscriptions and symbols were added to allow minters to continue producing the coins, but now with a Christian message.

I had a nice medieval "helmet denier" of the Crusader king Bohemond III, but alas, the coin was stolen last year and I have no pictures of it.
Here is a nice Crusader piece from the Civitas Galleries site, where I bought my Bohemond III a while back.

Link to Civitas Galleries site. (Josh Moran of Civitas is a member on these forums).
The coin I linked to is one of five Crusader pieces on the site presently, and at $190, it is the second most expensive. Three of the five are below a hundred dollars (I see one of them sold).
Crusader coins are neat historical pieces and are seldom dirt-cheap, but they can be had at a moderate price sometimes.
