| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the Lion of Cyprus rampant to the left, rendered in a bold but somewhat crude hammered style typical of late medieval Cypriot coinage. The lion occupies the majority of the flan, with raised fore-paws and tail curving upward. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, commencing with a cross pattee. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with pronounced surface patination consistent with bronze corrosion. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
James II seized the Cypriot throne in 1460 after ousting his legitimate half-sister Charlotte with Egyptian Mamluk military backing — a debt he repaid through tribute and trade concessions. The sezin was the lowest denomination in circulation during his reign, and these bronzes absorbed the hardest daily use in a colony already strained by Venetian commercial pressure and the slow collapse of Lusignan authority.
