Weight: 1.01 ± g.
Diameter: 17 mm

Bohemond, a prominent Crusader prince, was both a contemporary and occasional adversary of Levon I of Armenia. He fought against Saladin and allied with the Byzantine Empire. The Principality of Antioch, founded after the First Crusade, existed from 1098 until its fall to the Mamluks in 1268.

Obverse: Helmeted bust of a knight facing left, wearing chain mail. A cross appears on the helmet, with a crescent on the left and a star on the right, all enclosed within a pearl circle. Inscribed legend: +BOANVNDVS.
Reverse: A cross within a pearl circle, with a crescent in the second quadrant. Surrounding legend: +ANTIOCHA annulet.
Reference: Metcalf 377–391.

Provenance:
From a private European collection, established in the 1990s.

Please review the photos carefully. Keep in mind, the images are highly magnified; the coin appears even more impressive in person.

Sadly: This was the only honest seller on catwaki. All other buyings did not come, package was empty or not as described. No help from catawiki. I lost nearly 2000 Euro. THANKS to this honest seller!

The best thank you! I’d like to buy from him again but would prefer he doesn’t send via signed mail because I have to go to the post office to fetch it which takes longer. Great seller thank you!
