Additional information

Henry I came to the throne of Cyprus in 1218 at roughly seven years old, with the kingdom governed by a succession of regents through much of this coinage's production window. The copper deniers struck in his name span that entire regency period and his subsequent personal rule, making attribution of individual dies to specific administrative phases essentially impossible without documentary support.

Metcalf's die study identified meaningful variation across the 436–442 range, suggesting multiple production episodes rather than a single sustained mint run.
