| 裏面の説明 | A bold cross of Jerusalem — a large central cross potent with four smaller crosslets in each angle — occupies the full reverse field, a heraldic device emblematic of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Lusignan dynastic claims. The arms of the cross extend nearly to the rim, with the crosslets clearly rendered despite the worn and irregularly shaped flan. A circular Latin legend encircles the design along the periphery, partially legible due to flan irregularity and surface wear. |

The anonymous billon deniers of Lusignan Cyprus are notoriously difficult to reign-assign with precision, and Metcalf's Type 77 sits in a contested stretch of the sequence covering the reigns of Janus and his son John II. Cyprus under Janus was catastrophically sacked by the Mamluk Sultanate in 1426 — the king himself was captured and held for ransom in Cairo — and whatever mint continuity existed before that raid was almost certainly disrupted. That the coinage resumed, and that pieces from the post-ransom years are largely indistinguishable from earlier strikes, speaks to how little the monetary infrastructure changed despite the political trauma.
