Résumé
Summary. — The silver gros grands and gros petits of Hugh IV of Cyprus (1324-59) can be classified into two main series, distinguished by a double line or a small cross at the throat. It is probable, but debateable, that these series are from two mints, and if so we may suppose that they were located at Nicosia and Famagusta respectively. Coins with a large letter С in the field, and others in a crude, irregular style, may be from other, minor mints but this is not certain. The large letter В in the field is not a mint-mark. In all, the gros were struck from fewer than 150 obverse dies, and the gros petits from about 40 obverse dies. The article includes a detailed list of the coins of Hugh IV in the Galini hoard, and also those in a hoard from the Limassol district, together with metrological data.
