| Reverse description | Central field dominated by the Jerusalem cross potent, consisting of a large cross potent with a smaller cross in each of its four angles, a heraldic device adopted by the Lusignan rulers as Kings of Jerusalem and Cyprus. The cross is contained within a plain inner circle bordered by a beaded or toothed ring, with the surrounding uncial Latin legend occupying the outer field. Small decorative stops separate the words of the inscription. The overall design is characteristic of Lusignan gros coinage and asserts the dynastic claim to the thrones of Jerusalem, Cyprus, and Armenia. |
