Was getting close to giving up, would have ventured one more guess but that would have been it. Here a little tricky one with a stylised portrait, so realm/dynasty will be good enough to get it:  PPS: Re-posted. Edited by Medieval

This is an area I just don't have any idea without clues.

Co-existing with the very late Byzantine empire.
But if no-one gives it a shot, I'll remove it and find something else.

That's just as bad.
I was going to guess Hugh IV of Cyprus for the first one. Lets see if I can find anything the looks like that. Maybe King Richard of England.

Actually Hugh IV of Cyprus is in the right realm/dynasty (only Hugh IV was a few decades earlier), so you got it!
You want to have a guess at the last one? If not, I'll remove it.

See, you got them both! First one was   Gros from Peter I (1359-1369), King of Cyprus et al - CCS#76+ Obverse: +PIERE.PAR.LA GRACE.D'DIEU.ROI around king seated facing, holding sword and orb Reverse: +DE.IERVSALEM.&.DE.CHIPRE around cross of Jerusalem Note: the sword shows that it is Peter I, coinage from Peter II is just the same but he holds a sceptre |

I thought it looked like your avatar. This should be pretty easy.  BTW, those are really nice coin. I need to learn more about them. |
