| Obverse description | Central field bearing a Kufic Arabic inscription in two lines, typical of the Sicilian Norman coinage blending Islamic and Christian iconographic traditions. The script is rendered in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, characteristic of hammered bronze issues of the period. The overall style reflects the multicultural administrative context of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily under Roger II. |
