'''Templar Coins''' were collectible items that the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] collected during his journey to [[Cyprus]]. Although apparently useless to Altaïr himself, [[Templars|Templar]] coins translated to points that could be used to buy [[Assassin's Creed Bloodlines Upgrades|upgrades]] in the [[Animus]] virtual machine.
'''Templar coins''' were coins issued and used as a currency by the [[Templars|Knights Templar]] during the time of the {{Wiki|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.


They came in bronze, silver, and gold forms, each with increasing worth, and could be found scattered in various locations around Cyprus, or in the possession of higher-ranking foes such as [[Guards|Guard Captains]], pirates, or duelists.
From 1191 to 1193, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] obtained numerous Templar coins from the Templars' base in [[Acre]]'s harbour, Limassol and Kyrenia.
 
The coins, like other items that were obtained throughout the story, were given a "hologram" indicator of sorts above them by the Animus, in order to make them easier for Altaïr to find. As such, this gave them the appearance that they were approximately half of the size of him.
