| Reverse description | Facing bust of Saint Peter rendered in a hieratic, frontal style within a beaded inner circle, the apostle depicted with a broad face, simplified facial features, and a cruciform nimbus or halo suggested by the surrounding design elements. The bust is draped and presented in a schematic, Romanesque manner consistent with tenth-century Italian die-cutting traditions. A beaded border frames the central image. The surrounding legend SCS PETRVS, abbreviated from Sanctus Petrus, identifies the patron saint of Rome. The overall composition reflects the religious authority invoked by Alberic II to legitimize his coinage. |
