I need help on another "crusader".

I have 2 more crusaders that were found in uncleaned coin batches that I need help on. The first is 15mm and weighs .6g.

Thank you,
bob

Hi Bob

I am sure this is another denier of the Lusugnan kings of Cyprus, and the ony one in Metcalf with the Jerusalem cross on the obverse is Janus, 1398-1432, so the probable identification is

Obv. Jerusalem cross, IAnVS ROI DE Ch round
Rev. Lion rampant, DE ChIPR E DE RI (all E's round backed on both sides)

The obverse needs to be turned 90 degrees clockwise, and the reverse about 45 degrees clockwise.

Best wishes
