| Reverse description | Central field features a bold cross pattée extending nearly to the inner beaded border, with two small crosslets placed in the upper two quarters of the cross, and two roundels or pellets positioned in the lower quarters, a composition typical of Lusignan Cypriot gros coinage. The cross divides the field into four sections, the whole enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A Latin circular legend surrounds the field, referencing James (Jacobus) by the grace of God King of Jerusalem, Cyprus, and Armenia, affirming the joint rule of the two monarchs on this transitional issue struck at the time of their marriage in 1473. |
