This famous coin represents the only gold coinage of Saladin minted in Syria. It has long been associated with his victory over the Crusaders at the battle of Hattin which took place in this year, where the True Cross was captured and after which Jerusalem itself was surrendered to Saladin's forces. Balog notes that Saladin's adoption of the extra titles of Sultan al-Islam wa'l-muslimin would be particularly appropriate in this context (From the auction catalogue Morton & Eden 79).
