| Additional information |
Tancred governed Antioch twice as regent — first from 1101 to 1103 while Bohemond I was held captive by the Danishmend Turks, then again from 1104 following the disaster at Harran, where Bohemond was captured a second time by the Artuqids. This fourth-type follis belongs to that second regency, a period in which Tancred effectively became the permanent ruler of the principality. Bohemond never meaningfully returned.
Crusader copper of this period is frequently found in poor condition due to the thin flans and corrosive soils of the Levant. MAL#6 is one of the scarcer follis types attributed to Tancred's issues.
