| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicting the Aragonese coat of arms — a crowned shield bearing vertical bars (pales of Aragon) — set within a beaded inner circle. The arms are surmounted by a royal crown, rendered in a simplified, bold style consistent with hammered small denomination coinage. The surrounding legend REX:SICILY:A. identifies the issuer as King of Sicily in Latin. The flan is irregular and the strike characteristically uneven, as is typical for billon denari of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John II of Aragon never set foot in Sicily. He ruled the island as an absentee king following the death of Alfonso V in 1458, governing through viceroys while his attention remained fixed on Aragon, Navarre, and the grinding war with Catalonia that consumed most of his reign. The denaro issues struck in his name across this twenty-one year span reflect that administrative distance — produced locally with little central oversight, they show considerable variation in die quality and billon fineness.
