| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Peter II inherited the Cypriot throne as a minor in 1369 following the assassination of his father Peter I — a king whose aggressive Crusading ambitions had made Cyprus wealthy in ransoms and plunder but deeply unpopular with the Genoese trading community. That enmity culminated in 1373, when Genoa launched a punitive expedition that sacked Famagusta and effectively stripped Cyprus of its most profitable port for the remainder of Lusignan rule. Coinage struck under Peter II reflects a kingdom managing a steep economic contraction, with the royal mint operating under Genoese pressure for much of his reign.
