Obverse description Central field depicts a crowned seated figure, imitating the royal effigy of Robert d'Anjou, enthroned and facing forward, holding a sceptre in the right hand and an orb or globus cruciger in the left; flanking kneeling figures appear at lower left and right in a presentation scene. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a peripheral legend in a corrupted or pseudo-Latin script imitating the Neapolitan gigliat prototype. The rendering is notably cruder than the Angevin original, characteristic of Beylik workshop imitative production.
