| Obverse description | Central field depicting a crowned eagle displayed, rendered in low relief in the characteristic crude style of Hohenstaufen Sicilian billon coinage. The eagle, a dynastic emblem of the Holy Roman Empire and Kingdom of Sicily, occupies the majority of the inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend reads + CONR SCDS IERL`S, an abbreviated form of Conradus Secundus Jerosolymitanus, identifying the issuer as Conrad II (Conradin). The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, as is typical of mid-thirteenth century hammered billon denari of southern Italy. |

| Reverse description | Central field divided by a plain cross extending to an inner beaded circle, creating four quarters each containing a pellet or annulet, forming the characteristic cross-and-pellets design of Sicilian denari of this period. A small fleur-de-lis or ornamental terminal is visible at the center of the cross. The surrounding Latin marginal legend reads ET SICILIE REX, completing the royal title across both faces. The flan is of irregular shape with a scalloped or wavy edge, consistent with hammered production techniques of the thirteenth-century Sicilian mint. |
