The Alex G. Malloy Crusader Coin Collection

We are pleased to offer the Alex G. Malloy Collection of Crusader Coins, assembled over a 40 year period during which Mr. Malloy was a premier dealer (now retired but a Forum staff consultant), collector and author in the field of crusader numismatics. Alex G. Malloy, Irene Preston and Arthur Seltman coauthored "Coins of the Crusader States", an excellent one-volume compendium of all known Crusader types, and an important standard references for crusader coins. Many of the coins listed here are ex Seltman and other important collections, in addition to coming to us from the Malloy collection. Rarely are so many crusader coins, with a wide spectrum of types and great rarities offered. This is perhaps the opportunity of a lifetime to acquire some superb examples for your collection or to begin a new exceptional collection of crusader coins.

Like his father before him, Bohemond had a notorious dislike for the Knights Hospitaller and the neighboring Kingdom of Armenia, preferring an alliance with the Knights Templar. Peace with Armenia was assured only shortly before his death, with the mediation of Louis IX of France.
