Assistance with Cilician Armenian Coin (Hetoum I)

[Stkp]

My tentative attribution of this coin is Hetoum I, kardez (I assume that it is not a tank because it is only 24 mm in diameter), Sis mint.

I would appreciate it if anyone could confirm or correct my attribution, and any additional information, such as standard catalog reference numbers, date, etc., would be fantastic.

Thanks.

You are correct.  It is a Cilician Armenian Ae Kardez of Hetoum I.  There are several varieties with wedges, moons and doves in the crutches of the cross.  I do not have access to either Bedoukian or Nercessian to attribute specifically

Thanks.

They say "buy the book before the coin," but having just bought this and one other Cilician Armenian coin on impulse (they were very inexpensive) I am sufficiently intrigued that I ordered both Nercessian and Bedoukian.  So perhaps this will be the start of another branch of my collection(s)...

I enjoy these coins too.  I have a small hoard of these coins which I am slowly cleaning and cataloging with the help of the excellent references available

The books arrived and the two coins are now posted in my gallery under a new file that I created for Cilician Armenia.  I have always enjoyed buying unattributed coins and learning as I go...
