c. 1163-1334 Crusader Cross Coin Pendant | Handcrafted 14K Gold Setting

This Crusader-era silver denier, struck in the mint of Antioch, is a powerful relic of medieval history.  The obverse features a helmeted and chain-mailed bust of Behemond III, the "Prince of Antioch" and a Christian ruler during the height of the Crusades. The reverse depicts the iconic Jerusalem cross, also known as the Crusader or Maltese cross, a symbol of the Christian warrior and protection, with a crescent moon in the upper right quadrant. Encircling the cross is the inscription "ANTIOCHIA," marking its origin. Encased in a handcrafted 14K gold bezel, this coin pendant is about the size of a nickel. It serves not only as a piece of fine jewelry but also as a badge of honor and a reminder of the historical significance of the Crusades.
