| Obverse description | Within a linear circle, the royal monogram 'W' flanked by the Latin inscription REX, denoting King William I of Sicily. A circular Arabic legend surrounds the inner circle, reading in translation: 'Struck in Messina in the year 550 of the Hijra' (corresponding to 1155 AD). The design reflects the multicultural Norman-Sicilian coinage tradition, combining Latin royal titulature with Arabic mint and date information in a single unified composition. |
