| 裏面の説明 | Central cross pattée of larger size at the centre of the field, surrounded by four smaller cross pattées arranged in the quarters, with four additional smaller crosses filling the intermediate spaces, forming a symmetrical nine-cross composition within a beaded inner circle. The overall arrangement is characteristic of the Lusignan gros coinage of Cyprus, reflecting the crusader artistic tradition. A second beaded circle frames the cross arrangement, with the legend IHRLM ET CIPRI REX — abbreviating the royal title 'King of Jerusalem and Cyprus' — inscribed in uncial Latin letters around the outer margin. |

John II ruled Cyprus as a largely ceremonial figurehead while real power shifted between his wife Helena Palaiologina and the Genoese and Venetian merchant factions competing for control of the island's lucrative sugar and spice trade. His reign coincided with the final decades before the Lusignan dynasty's effective collapse into Venetian dependency, and coinage from this period reflects a kingdom spending beyond its means to maintain the appearance of royal authority it no longer fully possessed.
The gros denomination had been the backbone of Cypriot commercial exchange since the 13th century, accepted across Levantine ports as reliably as any western European silver.
