CYPRUS
1192 - 1489: Rule by the Frankish Lusignan dynasty

LUSIGNAN COINS
3a : Silver half gros of Hugh IV of Cyprus (1324 - 1359), VF. King enthroned. Cross and four small crosses in the corners. The reverse has some "horn silver" (the black round the edge and one cross). This is a reaction while it was in the soil. It is less noticeable on the actual coin: the scans are lightened so you can see all the detail. (Property: webmaster).
