Hrefn Posted July 9 · Supporter Share Posted July 9 Very interesting to see the fleur de lis on a Muslim coin, and so long after the high water mark of the Crusades. What was it’s significance to late 14th century Syrians? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeandAcre Posted July 9 · Member Share Posted July 9 @CRUSADER STATE, a hearty if belated welcome to the forum! Right, you'll know this, but the Mameluks overthrew the Ayyubids in Egypt, when Louis IX's first crusade were still there. Once, I was told the first emir issued coins. (Never even checked Album; slap me.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each sultan had his own blazon(s). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
