| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized tree with symmetrically branching limbs rendered in a schematic, early medieval manner, occupying the full height of the flan. The tree motif is a characteristic dynastic emblem of the Salernitan princes. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design along the periphery of the coin. |
