Note: Levon I of Cilician Armenia issued this bronze tank at a time when his kingdom stood as a Christian bastion between East and West. The obverse shows his bearded, lion-like face with a crowned head, symbolizing strength and kingship. On the reverse, the patriarchal cross with two stars reflects Armenia’s deep Christian faith and its role in the Crusader world. A small coin, yet a powerful emblem of resilience and belief.
