Hi all. I noticed that some of our members have been posting some rare copper Crusader coins and I am wondering if anyone has seen one like this. This was a surface find from Caesarea Maritima, so it could be from almost anywhere. Any ideas would be most appreciated! (I am not even certain which axis is correct, but I saw a coin described as a church with "cupola", though nothing just like this one. Thanks, V-drome

Thank you, Joe. Definitely not my prettiest coin!
