Crusaders(?), Imitative of Zangids of Syria, c. 1146 - 1200 A.D.,
|Crusaders|, |Crusaders(?),| |Imitative| |of| |Zangids| |of| |Syria,| |c.| |1146| |-| |1200| |A.D.,|, This coin is a crude imitative of an Islamic fals of the Zangids of Syria, Nur al-Din Mahmud, struck at Halab (Aleppo, Syria), 1146 - 1173 (Spengler-Sayles 73, Album 1850). That type was itself also imitative, copying a Byzantine follis of Constantine X, struck at Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey), 1059 - 1067 (DOC III 8, SBCV 1853). The quality of the Zangids fals vary greatly and it can be difficult to distinguish between Halab mint issues and imitatives. This example is very crude and if any can be attributed to the crusaders, this is one.
