Need help with Medieval coin id [solved]

7 posts • viewed 111 times

Hey there… found this coin that looks like some kind of Medieval European coin or  Crusader state coin and am wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what it is. Any help you could provide would be most appreciated thank you. 

 

 Pictures quickly cropped of not needed background. 

 

 Then put those in the Search and this was one of the results. 

N#199696 

Crusader and Christian states in the Eastern Mediterranean › Catalan colonies › Athens, Duchy of 

 No idea if it is that coin, but similar designs.

 That first pictures has CIVIS lettering top left. As does this.

 Can not read much of the other lettering both sides. 

 

Edit. Looking again seems like THEBANI as well.

 Lastly, other side may be GVI DVX ATENES lettering, or part of it.

Wow thank you very much for this. I figured out it was similar in design to the French turnois coins shortly after I posted the question but knew what I was looking at was not French per se. Never would have guessed Athens. Cool.
