Beschrijving keerzijde Central Jerusalem cross — a large cross potent with a small square at the centre and a smaller cross in each of the four quarters — occupies the field within an inner beaded circle, a design emblematic of the Crusader heritage of the Lusignan dynasty. The cross is boldly rendered in the hammered style. A Latin uncial legend runs between the inner beaded ring and an outer beaded border at the rim, completing the royal titulature.

Aanvullende informatie

James II seized the Cypriot throne in 1460 after defeating his half-sister Charlotte and her Savoyard husband in a prolonged civil war, aided decisively by Mamluk Egypt — a debt he repaid through substantial tribute. His reign marks the last period of genuinely independent Lusignan rule; within a year of his death in 1473, Venice had effectively absorbed the island through his widow, Catherine Cornaro. Coins from his tenure circulate rarely, the island's economy having been badly disrupted by the succession conflict.
