| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| 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.
