| Beschrijving keerzijde | A cross pattée displayed at center, with the Greek Christological acclamation IC XC NI KA (Jesus Christ conquers) distributed one letter or abbreviation in each of the four quarters formed by the arms of the cross. The cross is set within a circular border or beaded ring, a compositional device common to Byzantine-influenced Norman Sicilian coinage. The design reflects the deeply religious iconographic programme adopted by Roger II, who integrated Eastern Christian symbolism into his coinage as a statement of legitimacy and piety. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ruggero II was crowned King of Sicily on Christmas Day 1130 — a deliberate echo of Charlemagne — after the antipope Anacletus II recognized his kingdom in exchange for political support. The follaro coinage of his early reign reflects the extraordinary cultural synthesis of his court at Palermo, where Norman, Arab, and Byzantine administrative traditions operated simultaneously, each leaving traces in the monetary system inherited and adapted from the preceding Kalbid and later Norman county period.
Billon issues of this type circulated alongside Arabic-inscribed bronze coins within the same economy, a coexistence that would last well into his son's reign.
