| Obverse description | Central field features the letters IPR arranged beneath two omega characters (ΩΩ), all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The design is characteristic of the abbreviated imperial titulature employed on Hohenstaufen billon issues. A circular legend surrounds the inner circle, reading +.F.ROMANORVM. ΩΩ IPR, referencing Frederick II as Holy Roman Emperor. The strike is irregular, as typical of hammered medieval Sicilian coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A plain cross with slightly splayed arms divides the field into four quarters, each containing an outward-facing crescent. The cross extends to a beaded inner circle, a standard decorative device on Norman and Hohenstaufen Sicilian deniers. A circular legend surrounds the composition reading +.IERSL.ET.SICIL.R., identifying the ruler as King of Jerusalem and Sicily. The overall design follows the established iconographic tradition of crusader-influenced Sicilian coinage. |
