Tancred of Antioch

Copper Follis

1100-1103, 1105-1112

Obv.: Turbaned bust of Tancred facing ahead. Holding sword over right shoulder. Text above the bust reads KE BO TANKP (KYPIE BOHϴEI TANKPHΔΩ, God be helpful to Tancred).

Rev.: Pommeled crusader cross with IC-XC-NI-KA (IHΣOYΣ XPIΣTOΣ NIKATΩP, Jesus Christ, victor) in cantons.

c.f. Schlumberger Numismatique de l'Orient latin, pl. II #7

Heritage Auctions #232227, lot #61407

 

This is the second of the three known types of Tancred's coins. This type is subversive - it shows the crusading Tancred dressed in Arab garb. Local dress would have been worn by crusaders while on campaign or in day-to-day life, but depicting himself in local dress was a political move by Tancred to ingratiate himself with the locals. There was evidently some conservative pushback, however, as Tancred's later coins are images of Christ with the cross - nearly all of which are overstruck on this type.
