Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tank coin from Cilician Armenia is that it features an image of Leo I, who was the first king of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during his reign from 1198 to 1219 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the kingdom. Despite being made of copper, which is a relatively inexpensive metal, the coin was still carefully crafted and bears a significant historical value due to its connection to the Crusader and Christian states in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Middle Ages.
