| Beschrijving keerzijde | Frontal standing figure of Christ Pantokrator, nimbate and robed, depicted in Byzantine style within a beaded border. The figure stands facing, both arms extended or slightly raised, flanked by elongated candlestick-like decorative elements or sceptres on either side. The reverse inscription IC XC, the traditional Greek Christogram abbreviating Iesous Christos, appears in the field to either side of the figure, reinforcing the Byzantine iconographic programme characteristic of Norman Sicilian follari of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Roger II struck these follari during the years he ruled Sicily as Count, before Pope Honorius II granted him the royal title in 1130. The pre-regal dating matters: once crowned king, Roger systematically reorganized his coinage, making issues from the county period genuinely transitional artifacts of a polity in the act of becoming a kingdom. Sicily under Roger was among the most administratively sophisticated states in the Latin West, absorbing Norman, Byzantine, and Fatimid monetary conventions simultaneously — a complexity visible in the follaro's iconographic debt to earlier Arab-Norman copper issues from the same mints at Palermo.
