We have made every effort to describe each coin as clearly as possible, with inscriptions provided as we have read them from the coins. Unfortunately, the medieval letter forms, and often less-than-perfect strikes, can make the coins difficult to read and we may occasionally get a letter or two wrong. Please feel free to contact us if you notice any such mistakes. |

THE CHRISTIAN EAST
CILICIAN ARMENIAN KINGDOM
Armenia was a medieval Christian Kingdom located near the borders of Turkey, Syria and Iran, a region normally associated with Islam. The coins have distinctly Christian images, often the king on horseback, holding a cross. The legends are of a distinctive Armenian script that is still in use today, but some examples have bilingual Armenian-Arabic inscriptions, attesting to the close ties these people had with the local Islamic cultures.
