This variety always features a legible kufic legends, there are however certain omissions in the date and certain words and the religious legends are sometimes incomplete. As Malloy points out, this typology is distinguished from the Acre mintages both by the variation in the monetary alloy, with a high gold content, and by the general higher epigraphic standard. They should therefore be attributed to an unspecified mint, perhaps in Tyre. These usually bears the mint names of Misr, Iskandariya and sometimes al-Qahira, in many cases partially or completely dated to the following years 506, 508, 509, 510, 514/516 and 518.

The Latin kings of Jerusalem struck imitative debased gold 'besanti sarracenati' modelled on the dinars of the Fatimid caliph al-Amir (1101-1130) from about 1148 until 1250, when they attracted the censure of the papal legate Eudes of Châteauroux, who came to Acre with Louis IX. He found it scandalous that Christians should be striking coins bearing 'the name of Mohamed and the number of years from his nativity'. The designs were promptly changed with a prominent cross and legends in Arabic proclaiming the Christian faith of the Holy Trinity with dates 'from the incarnation of the Messiah', from 1251 to 1258 AD, however, the dates on the outer margins of the coins are usually illegible.

Good VF. Ex Artemide LX, 2023, lot 707. Templar, or simply the Templars, was a military order of the Catholic faith, and one of the wealthiest and most popular military orders in Western Christianity. They were founded c. 1119, headquartered on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages. Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church by such decrees as the papal bull Omne datum optimum of Pope Innocent II, the Templars became a favored charity throughout Christendom and grew rapidly in membership and power. The Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. They were prominent in Christian finance; non-combatant members of the order, who made up as much as 90% of their members, managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom. They developed innovative financial techniques that were an early form of banking, building a network of nearly 1,000 commanderies and fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land, and arguably forming one of the world's earliest multinational corporations.
