Reverse description	Bust of the Virgin Mary (Theotokos) rendered in Byzantine manner, depicted facing and nimbate within a beaded inner circle, her hands raised in the orans posture. The figure is dressed in maphorion and displays the characteristic stylised drapery of Italo-Byzantine iconography. A partial Kufic-influenced or hybrid legend surrounds the central motif, consistent with the multicultural Norman-Sicilian numismatic tradition. The inscription 'CESVS' appears in the field, likely an abbreviated or corrupted Latin rendering associated with the reverse type.
