| Reverse description | A tall patriarchal cross with two crossbars occupies the central field, dividing the area into four quadrants. The Greek Christogram IC XC (Jesus Christ) is inscribed in the upper two quadrants flanking the upper arm of the cross, while the Greek acclamation NI KA (conquers) appears in the lower two quadrants, forming the devotional formula IC XC NI KA (Jesus Christ conquers). The legend R SICILIE (Rex Siciliae) runs around the periphery within a beaded circle. The design continues the Byzantine-influenced iconographic tradition inherited from the Norman and Hohenstaufen predecessors of the Angevin rulers of Sicily. |
