| Beschrijving keerzijde | An eight-pointed star occupying the central field, enclosed within a plain inner circle, with a small annulet (ring) placed between each pair of adjacent points, yielding eight annulets in total. The surrounding legend reads CIVITAS TRIPOL (City of Tripoli), identifying the mint city. The design is bold and deeply struck for a billon issue, with the radiating star arms and pellet ornaments clearly defined despite the irregular flan edges characteristic of Crusader hammered coinage. |

Bohémond V ruled Tripoli through one of the more precarious stretches of Crusader survival in the Levant, navigating Mongol pressure from the east and increasingly aggressive Mamluk consolidation to the south. His coinage reflects a county operating on reduced resources — billon of this period from Tripoli is notoriously variable in silver content, and many surviving specimens show the alloy degrading visibly toward the copper end of the spectrum.
Metcalf's die study identified meaningful variation across the type, suggesting production ran through multiple short campaigns rather than sustained mint activity.
