| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée occupies the central field, with a small crosslet or fleurette placed in each of the four quarters formed by the arms of the cross, a design derived from the Jerusalem cross tradition associated with the Lusignan dynastic claims. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the titulary legend in uncial Latin characters arranged around the periphery, referencing the queen's claims to the kingdoms of Jerusalem, Cyprus, and Armenia. |
