The
Crusader Coin
|
|
|

the 13th century, Crusaders from throughout Europe massed
their armies in an effort to recapture the Holy Land from
the Muslims. Small coins were minted in great quantity to
pay the troops, and they ultimately became the standard
currency for the common people. These crusader coins were
so popular and widely accepted that they continued to be
minted for three centuries. read
