The pendant features an authentic Knights Templar Armenian Cilicia bronze coin, the coin is dated  13th Century AD, during the reign of King Hethum I

January 6, 1198 AD--the Royal period of Armenian kings came to be. Prince Levon II was crowned Levon I, King of Cilician Armenia, and the Golden Age had begun. Cilician Armenian coins were minted in copper, bronze, silver, and--in a few very rare occurrences--gold. Their styles were quite unique, comprising stylized busts, Armenian text, and sometimes incorporating contemporaneous European Crusader crosses and iconography, which lasted until the end of the kingdom in 1375 AD. 
The coin in this listing was minted at the time of Hethum I, who ruled the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia from 1226 to 1270. 

On the front side a Latin Cross with Armenian inscription around it, on reverse is an image of the king seating, with his legs crossed and Armenian inscription around.
