| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain Greek or Latin cross occupies the central field, enclosed within a raised circular border forming an inner ring. A Kufic Arabic inscription runs around the periphery of the coin outside the circular border, referencing the ruler and his titles. The design is characteristic of Norman-Sicilian follari, combining Christian iconography with Arabic epigraphy. The flan is irregular with uneven edges typical of hammered coinage. The relief is low and the strike somewhat off-center, consistent with the broader series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ruggero II's bronze follaro issues sit at one of the more unusual intersections in medieval monetary history: a Norman king ruling a predominantly Arabic-speaking and Greek Orthodox population, producing coinage that openly borrowed from Fatimid and Byzantine traditions to project legitimacy across all three communities simultaneously. The Palermo mint under his reign was among the most culturally syncretic in the Mediterranean world.
Spahr's classification of these small bronzes remains the standard reference, though die linkage studies have complicated clean attribution within the type groupings he established.
