| Beschrijving voorzijde | Royal equestrian effigy depicted in profile facing right, the king mounted on horseback and holding a fleur-de-lis sceptre. The figure is rendered in a bold, stylized medieval Armenian artistic tradition typical of Cilician coinage. The design is surrounded by a beaded border enclosing the Armenian legend in the field. The overall composition reflects the influence of Western European heraldic conventions on Armenian royal iconography. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Constantine IV's reign lasted barely two years before he was deposed and executed in 1344, making this among the shortest-lived issues of the Cilician Armenian series. By this point the kingdom itself was in terminal decline — squeezed between the Mamluk Sultanate to the south and the slow collapse of Crusader support from the west — and coin production reflected that instability, with irregular flans and inconsistent striking pressure common across surviving examples.
