Armenia, coronation tram of Levon I, 1198-1219. Cf. Nercessian
258-267.

thanks Bob,

is it worth anything?

Of course; 1995 catalog value is $45-$50, depending on variety. It
might bring from $35-$75 on eBay. Armenian numismatics is an active
field and this is a somewhat scarcer coin in nice condition.

Levon I. Wow! Historically important! A thousand years old. And only
50 clams. An American coin of only 100 years ago, with the same
number known would bring $50,000 at auction. That kind of pricing
brings those kinds of questions. People think that rare, old coins
are valuable.

It is funny that the ,multi-million-dollar "King of Coins" the 1804
Dollar is a phony, as are all the fake copies that bring hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Stacks had the privilege about 10 years ago of
auctioning one of these "official counterfeits" with a bogus 1913 5-
cent Nickel Coin.

On the other hand, collectors of ancients, medievals, and other world
issues are able to buy true Museum Pieces for a Benjamin or two.

I just sent an article to The Celator about the Fairs of Champagne.
We measure gold and silver in "troy" ounces because of the Fairs of
Troyes. The Arthurian Romances were written by Chretian of Troyes for
the court of Marie whose mother was Eleanor of Aquitaine and whose
step-brothers included Richard Lionheart. The Crusades were called
for by Pope Urban II, born Eude in Champage. The Templars were
founded by Hugues of Payens in Champagne. Templar wealth went to the
Cistercians of Saint Bernard at Champagne. All of that at more... and
not one of the dozen or so silver pennies of Champagne -- very similar
in style and size to those coronation trams of Levon I of Armenia --
cost more than $50. Fifty clams for Richard, Parsifal, Arthur, the
Holy Lance, and all that...

On the other hand, I get a perverse pleasure from looking at an MS-65
Flying Liberty Half Quarter and asking the owner, "Who was the
Secretary of the Treasury?" They never know.

Thanks everyone for the help, I have inherited a lot of coins from my
grandfather, quite sure this is the most valued one of the lot, but I have
others as well....

I guess I am now a collector?

If you think some of them are "neat" and want to find out about them.
