Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the second reign of Henry II, who was the son of Hugh III, and he ruled Cyprus from 1310 to 1324. During his reign, he faced many challenges, including the threat of Muslim invasions and internal conflicts within the kingdom. Despite these challenges, he was able to maintain stability and prosperity in Cyprus, which is reflected in the production of coins like this one.
