| Obverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Roger II enthroned in regal attire, wearing a crown and holding regalia, rendered in the Byzantine hieratic style characteristic of Norman Sicilian coinage. The figure is depicted in a stiff, ceremonial pose with arms outstretched. A Greek legend reading POGEPIA NAS (Roger, King) appears in the field, though typically partially legible due to the irregular flan and hammered production. The overall artistic treatment reflects the strong Byzantine influence prevalent at the Norman court of Palermo. |
