Lot # 734 - Edessa. Baldwin II, second reign (1108-1118). AE Follis. Obv. Count walking left holding cross in right and sword in left hand. Rev. Floral cross with pellets in angles. Malloy 9a; Schl. pl. I, 7; Metcalf 109/111. AE. 3.79 g. 22.50 mm. Choice example, well detailed. Good VF. The county of Edessa was the first state to be conquered and formed during First Crusade on March 10, 1098, when Baldwin of Boulogne assumed power there and adopted the title of count; and the first to fall, on November 3, 1146, when it was conquered by Nur-ad-Din Mahmud. The entire coinage of Edessa was issued between 1098 and 1144 and thus forms a compact series of scarce copper coins designed in quasi-byzantine style, often overstruck and reduced over the years in module and weight. At some point during his second reign, possibly around 1110, Baldwin's issues start to change. It is known that in the spring of 1110 Maudud of Mosul devastated the county's territory east of the Euphrates; subsequent Turkish and Armenian incursions impoverished Edessa beyond hope of recovery. Despite this issue that can be concerned with the possibility to obtain copper Porteous suggest that Edessa reduced the standard of its coinage to conform to that of Antioch.

Lot # 738 - Tripoli. Raymond III (1152-1187). AE Pougeoise. Obv. Fortified gateway with five rows of masonry and five crenellations, and large divided door with rounded top. Rev. St'Andrew's cross; circle in center, crescents in each quarter. Malloy 13; Schl. pl. IV, 9/11; Metcalf 523/529. AE. 0.77 g. 16.00 mm. R. EF. Ex Collection Blankenberg. The anonymous 'castle coppers' began to be struck during the reign of Raymond III. It is possible that the gateway design was instituted to memoralize his father Raymond II who was killed by assassins at the city gate of Tripoli in 1152. The design of the city gate also harks back to the period of Poins when seals of the counts have a reverse depicting the city of Tripoli with three towers and the city wall with a two door gate. A similar tower appears on the coinage of Sidon after 1170, and on the coinage of Beirut after 1205. The castle coppers have been divided into six types according to the style (see Sabine 'Tripoli' pp. 109-112 Nos. 240-331). Funny to note how these coins undergo a gradual degeneration in style until they resemble the Genoese gateway rather than the original type.
