1 Gros - Charlotte

Charlotte of Lusignan's reign lasted barely a year before her half-brother James II, backed by Mamluk support from Egypt, seized the throne and drove her into a decades-long exile. These gros were struck during that narrow window of legitimate rule, making them among the shortest-tenured issues of the Lusignan dynasty. James would go on to take Famagusta in 1464 with a Mamluk-supplied army, effectively ending Charlotte's claim in practice if not in her own estimation — she continued pressing her case with European courts until her death in 1487.
