Crusaders, Tripoli, Sidon or Uncertain Syria, Anonymous Coppers, c. 1250 - 1289
|Holyland| |Crusaders|, |Crusaders,| |Tripoli,| |Sidon| |or| |Uncertain| |Syria,| |Anonymous| |Coppers,| |c.| |1250| |-| |1289|, From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer for 40 years and co-author of Coins of the Crusader States. Ex John J. Slocum Collection. Mr. Slocum was in the American diplomatic service in the Holy Land where he collected rare and unique coins in the early 1960's.

Saif al-Din Qalawun Al-Salihi captured Tripoli on April 27, 1289, ending the Crusader County of Tripoli.

The fabric and crudeness in design of the anonymous copper pieces, such as this coin, put them in into a similar time frame as the anonymous copper of Sidon and Antioch, perhaps during the Mongol invasions of the 1250s or perhaps later.
