| Beschrijving voorzijde | A fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in the stylized Gothic manner typical of Angevin coinage, with three upright petals rising from a rounded base flanked by two lateral volutes. The heraldic device, emblem of the House of Anjou, is boldly struck in high relief against a flat field. The coin is enclosed by a beaded or rope-like border following the irregular flan. The legend, where visible, runs along the periphery in Latin characters. The overall design reflects the Angevin dynastic iconography introduced by Charles I following his conquest of the Kingdom of Sicily. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carlo I d'Angiò took the Kingdom of Sicily by force in 1266, defeating and killing Manfredi at Benevento with papal backing. His denaro coinage replaced the existing Hohenstaufen issues almost immediately — a deliberate monetary break from the German dynasty he had displaced. The billon content of these pieces is notably debased even by contemporary southern Italian standards.
His rule over Sicily ended abruptly with the Sicilian Vespers of March 1282, the island-wide revolt that killed thousands of French soldiers in a single night and transferred the kingdom to Peter III of Aragon.
