Historical Reality: The Templars Were Not a State Mint
The Knights Templar were not a state, but a supranational institution.
They did not operate a unified official currency like a kingdom.
Instead, they commonly used existing coins (Byzantine, Arabic, European).
However, they also issued coins in certain territories — including gold coins with Templar symbolism.
The Order functioned as a financial authority without a unified currency.
A fascinating paradox:
“The Templars were a bank before they had their own money.”
The First International Banking Network
This is the key historical fact.
The Templars:
- allowed deposits in Europe and withdrawals in the Levant (and vice versa)
- used early forms of credit notes and letters of exchange
- protected the transport of wealth
- managed treasures of nobles and kings
- lent money to rulers (including French kings)
In practice: coins did not need to be physically transported.
This was a financial revolution.
Their “currency” worked across the entire Christian world — before Italian merchants and bankers fully developed similar systems.
Templar Coins — What Actually Existed
Historians usually speak of:
- coins minted in Templar-controlled territories
- coins of Crusader states influenced by the Order
- coins bearing crosses or knightly symbols (not always directly Templar)
Purity and Trust — Their Real Power
The Templars were known for:
- precision
- trustworthiness
- accounting discipline
- standardization
A “Templar gold coin” would therefore mean:
- guaranteed weight
- reliable purity
- immediate acceptance by merchants
This is the authentic historical feeling behind it.
A Supranational Economy
The Templars operated:
- from England to the Levant
- with their own logistics
- their own infrastructure
- their own accounting systems
- their own network of trust
Essentially:
- a prototype of an international bank
- a prototype of a financial corporation
- a prototype of a global trust brand
The French King and Templar Wealth
Historically, the French crown was heavily indebted to the Templars.
They managed royal finances — and King Philip IV had strong financial motives to move against the Order.
Treasures and Legends
When Acre fell, Templar treasures disappeared.
Legends speak of what was lost — but one thing is certain:
chests filled with gold coins.
Historical authenticity
Today, we are used to currency that changes regularly, with older coins quickly disappearing from circulation. In the Middle Ages, however, things worked very differently.
Coins often remained in circulation for decades, and it was completely normal for newly minted coins to be used alongside much older ones. For example, Prague groschen were used from the 14th century well into the time of the Thirty Years’ War.
Newer coins were often smaller and contained less precious metal, but older, higher-quality coins did not disappear. On the contrary – they were often valued even more.
In times of crisis, such as the Hussite Wars, minting could stop entirely. The Kutná Hora mint, one of the most important in Europe, was inactive for extended periods, which meant that coins already in circulation continued to be used for many years.
That is why it is historically accurate for different types and ages of coins to appear together in your game world – just as they did in reality.

Jerusalem — The Commandery and the New Coins
The stone chamber was simple, but the decisions made within it were not.
Several gold coins lay on the table. Still new. Still silent. The brother mint master stood aside, as if apologizing for having created something.
The Grand Master picked one up. Turned it in his hand. The weight was exact. The gold pure.
“Good work,” he said.
One of the commanders frowned.
“A currency of our own raises questions.”
“It raises envy,” another corrected.
Silence.
The Grand Master placed the coin back among the others.
“Our brothers travel,” he said. “Our merchants as well. Our promises must carry the same weight everywhere.”
The commander leaned on the table.
“And if someone takes it as arrogance?”
The Grand Master allowed himself a faint smile.
“Then let him hold the coin,” he said. “And he will see it is responsibility.”
The mint master finally lifted his eyes.
The coins gleamed between them.
Because an order can live on donations.
But stability is minted.
Jerusalem — The Market
The market spoke in every language that could be spoken.
Fabrics from Byzantium, spices from afar, jewelry changing hands before a breath was taken. Greeks, Genoese, Armenians, Persians — trade did not argue about faith, but about weight.
“This is not pure,” said a merchant, returning a coin.
The other shrugged. Such things happened.
Then someone placed another coin on the table.
A Templar gold coin.
The conversation slowed. Not dramatically — but with certainty.
The merchant turned it, ran a finger along the edge, and nodded.
“I accept this.”
A man beside him smiled.
“With these, purity is not negotiated.”
“Nor weight,” another added.
The coin disappeared among the others — but differently. Like something that does not delay.
Because in a city where the world met, certainty was worth more than gold.
And sometimes it bore the mark of an order more reliable than a king’s crest.
Acre 1291 — The Departure of the Treasure
The treasury hall was loud, but not chaotic. The kind of noise that belongs to endings.
Chests were being closed quickly. Not in panic — in awareness of time.
The Grand Master stood by the dock, watching the gold being loaded. Not individual coins. The future.
A commander approached.
“The ship is ready.”
The Grand Master nodded.
“All of it,” he said.
The commander hesitated, just for a moment.
“That is the entire fortune.”
The Grand Master looked toward the walls, where distant thunder could be heard.
“No,” he said quietly. “That is an army that does not yet exist.”
The commander nodded. He understood.
He took a coin from an open chest, rolled it between his fingers — as if remembering how many journeys it had already made.
“Aigues-Mortes,” he said.
“And France,” the Grand Master added.
The chest closed. Ropes tightened. The ship moved.
Because sometimes gold does not flee.
It goes ahead — to bring reinforcements.
Paris — The King’s Treasury
The officials counted in silence. The kind of silence that means precision.
Stacks of coins lay on the table. Gold. Uniform. Predictable.
“It matches,” one said.
Another hesitated.
“No… there is more.”
Philip IV of France raised his eyes.
“More?” he asked.
The official nodded.
“The Order has sent more than agreed.”
The king stepped closer. Took a coin. Turned it. Held it for a long moment.
“Careful men,” he said.
No one answered.
He turned the coin again. Looked at the symbol. At the knight. Not at a king.
His fingers traced the edge.
“A currency of their own,” he said quietly.
The silence deepened.
“Fortresses of their own. Soldiers of their own. Gold of their own.”
The coin fell back onto the table. The sound was small — but it remained.
“That is not service,” Philip said.
No one moved.
The king looked at the gold. Exact. honest — and чужí.
“That is power.”
