Ex Classical Numismatic Group 96 (14 May 2014), lot 1061.'Then Balian and the patriarch went and had the tomb edicule of the Sepulchre which was all covered in silver uncovered; and then they had it taken away to be struck into money to give to the knights and sergeants.' – The Chronicle of Ernoul C. J. Sabine has convincingly argued that these very rare anonymous Deniers were an emergency issue struck during the siege of Jerusalem in September 1187. A small Christian force led by Balian of Ibelin mounted a heroic defence against the armies of Saladin, capitulating on October 2nd after the walls were breached. News of the loss of the Holy City sent shock waves through Western Europe and resulted in the Third Crusade.

Tye 207; cf. SNA Tübingen XIVd, 608; Album 1721. Iridescent toning. Near EF. Excellent condition for this type. This particular issue was the prototype for coins of Chingiz Khan that were struck in Ghazna during the Mongol pursuit of Muhammad's son, Jalal al-Din Mangubarni, who fled south towards India. INTRODUCTION TO SECTION An Offering of Mongol and Mongol-Related CoinageTo the Western imagination, the word Mongol conjures visions of ruthless hordes sweeping from the East on horseback. This assessment is accurate, especially for the rise of the Mongol Empire and its founder, Chingiz Khan. Born Temüjin, the son of a Mongol chieftain, Chingiz became sole ruler over the Mongol tribes and adopted the name by which he is remembered in AD 1206. Until his death in AD 1227, Chingiz Khan pursued a policy of conquest – first against the Jin and Xia in China and the Qarakhitai and the Khwarizmshahs in Central Asia – then westward, into Georgia and the Volga River area. Compelled to return to Mongolia to deal with the Jin and Xia, Chingiz died after a fall from his horse.Following the death in AD 1241 of Ögedei, the son and successor of Chingiz as Great Khan, power struggles arose over the succession to the Mongol Empire. Initially, the position of Great Khan passed to Güyük, Ögdei's son (and grandson of Chingiz). He, in turn, was succeeded by Möngke, the son of Chingiz's son Tolui. With Möngke's death, a war of succession arose, and the Mongol Empire irrevocably disintegrated into four independent khanates as a result. While Möngke's son, Qublai, was nominally Great Khan, he was officially emperor of China and founder of the Yuan dynasty. The others were the Ilkhanate (eastern Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and Persia), the Chaghatai Khanate (south of the Aral Sea to the Altai Mountains), and the Golden Horde (northern Black Sea, north of the Aral and Caspian Seas into the Urals). Each of these khanates continued to rule their respective territories until they themselves were replaced through death or conquest.
