Hello, 

 

I propose the creation of the issuer “Venetian Cyprus”

 

And add those coins under it:

 

N#127034

N#17731

N#127027

N#114108

N#127028

N#127025

N#127026

 

Those coin should be under "Venetian Cyprus" or "Kingdom of Cyprus" since the coins made for possessions and colonies are from the places were they circulated.

Example: Portuguese colonies (Portuguese India,  German Africa, Portuguese Macau, French Cameroon, etc.)

 

The kingdom eventually came to be dominated more and more in the 14th century by the Genoese merchants. Cyprus therefore sided with the Avignon Papacy in the Western Schism, in the hope that the French would be able to drive out the Italians. The Mameluks then made the kingdom a tributary state in 1426; the remaining monarchs gradually lost almost all independence, until 1489 when the last Queen, Catherine Cornaro, was forced to sell the island to Venice. Ottomans started raiding Cyprus immediately afterwards, and captured in 1571.

Those coins should go in Cyprus directly. I can create proper venetian ruling authorities there, gathered in a dynasty called “Venetian Cyprus”.

Same thing btw for Kingdom of Cyprus.

The Kingdom of Cyprus ceased to exist when Cyprus became a Venetian colony in 1489.
