| Obverse description | Three-quarter length frontal effigy of Duke Sergio I, depicted in Byzantine imperial style, wearing the loros and a crown or close-fitting headdress. The duke holds a scepter in his right hand and a globus cruciger in his left hand, emblems of sovereign authority. The figure is rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of southern Italian hammered coinage of the mid-ninth century, with bold facial features and schematic drapery visible on the flan. A partial inscription or decorative element appears to either side of the figure in the field. |
