| Obverse description | Irregular billon flan bearing a Latin legend arranged in multiple lines across the field, surmounted by a cross pattée at the top. The abbreviated royal title ZREX SICIL is distributed across the face in crude hammered characters, reflecting the hybrid Arabo-Norman coinage tradition of the Norman-Hohenstaufen Sicilian mint. The overall style is characteristic of the small fractional billon issues of Henry VI, with rough, uneven surfaces typical of hammered medieval coinage. |
