| Reversbeschreibung | 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. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Catherine Cornaro was a Venetian noblewoman who became Queen of Cyprus through her marriage to James II in 1472 — a union engineered by the Republic of Venice to extend its commercial and strategic grip over the island. James died within a year of the marriage, leaving Catherine pregnant; their infant son James III survived only months, making Catherine sole ruler. This joint issue, struck during the brief overlap of their nominal co-reign, represents one of the few physical artifacts of that arrangement before Venice effectively absorbed Cyprus outright in 1489, when it pressured Catherine to abdicate and cede the kingdom.
