Four Notes on Crusader Copper Coinage from the Principality of Antioch

Abstract

This paper offers some observations on four copper coins from the Crusader Principality of Antioch. The first deals with the iconography of an anonymous type struck under Raymond of Poitiers (1136–1149), the second with an overstrike of the pougeoise featuring a helmeted head, the third addresses the legend of a late Antiochene copper coin, while the fourth presents another, even rarer type late in the Antiochene series.
