TRIPOLI: Selim III, 1789-1807, AR 10 para (3.86g), Tarabulus Gharb, AH1210, KM-61, crescent in lieu of the regnal year on the reverse, no other ornaments in the fields on the reverse, two flowers above the 2nd line of text on the obverse, Extremely Fine, RR, ex. Ken Bovenkamp collection. The issues dated AH1210 are believed related to the brief uprising of Tarabulus Gharb by Ahmad II, who held his power for about one year, until overthrown by the Ottoman governor 'Ali Qaramanli, probably in 1211. The 1203 year 10 issues would then be assigned to 'Ali Qaramanli, thus regular issues of Selim III, for whom he held the governorship.
