Templar coins were a currency issued and used by the Knights Templar during the time of the Crusades. Made in bronze, silver, and gold forms, these coins were later scattered throughout Limassol and Kyrenia on Cyprus or held by Templar guards, pirates or duelists on the island.
From 1191 to 1193, the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad obtained numerous Templar coins from Acre's harbor, Limassol and Kyrenia.
Trivia
- Templar coins were collectible items in Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines. Collected Templar coins were exchanged for points, which could be used to purchase upgrades within the Animus.
