背面描述	Within a beaded inner circle, a stylized tower or castle, representing the royal stronghold of Cyprus, is depicted centrally in the field. The surrounding legend +RЄX CVPRI, reading 'King of Cyprus' in Latin, encircles the design between two beaded borders. The device is rendered in the crude but distinctive manner of Lusignan-period hammered coinage, with the castle serving as the dynastic and territorial emblem of the Kingdom of Cyprus.

附加信息	Henry I came to the throne of Cyprus as an infant in 1218, with the island governed by a succession of regents through the 1220s and into the 1230s. These deniers were struck throughout that long minority as well as into Henry's personal rule — meaning a single coin type spans both regency administration and the king's own governance, an unusual continuity for a medieval Frankish state navigating the turbulent politics of the Levantine crusader world.
