Obverse description	Frontal bust of Christ Pantokrator, nimbate, wearing imperial loros and crown, depicted in the Byzantine tradition. The figure is shown facing, raising the right hand in benediction and holding a globus cruciger in the left hand. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border and reflects the strong Byzantine artistic influence prevalent in Norman Sicilian coinage of the early twelfth century. The monogram or abbreviated inscription referencing Roger II appears to the left of the figure in the field.
