Found this coin a few years back in Italy and was curious if anyone new what it was? It looks like a crusader coin. Front has a short cross and back has fluer de lis. French perhaps? Thanks.

I have a 12th century ring found at an old church in Macedonia that was a frequent stop-over for crusaders en route back and forth. As I recall, that design is known as a Jerusalem Cross. Nice find.
