byzantine bronze coin - double strike
« on: March 17, 2010, 06:52:18 pm »
Hello.
Can you help me with this one, cause i'm a little bit confused. Could this not be a byzantine coin? Rather a vestern european medieval coin? Or is it a byzantine double struck one?
I really need your help with this one.

Hi

This is a Crusader coin from Antioch:
Metcalfe 3 (bust of St. Peter/4 line legend, issued by Tancred) overstruck with
Metcalfe 4 (bust of ruler holding sword, TANK[P] visible at upper right on reverse/IC XC NI KA round cross, also Tancred) overstruck with
Metcalfe 5 (standing figure of St Peter/DSFT in quarters of a cross, Tancred again).

Tancred ruled 1104-1112 and the sequence of types is pretty certain (from the overstrikes) but there doesn't seem to be an absolute chronology.
 
Best wishes
