The Principality of Antioch was founded in 1098 by Bohemund I during the first crusade. In 1183 Bohemund III negotiated a peace treaty with Saladin. This type of coin with its distinctive abstract portrait of a crusader knight was issued during the reign of Bohemund III, Prince of Antioch from 1163 to 1201 AD.
