| Obverse description | Central field occupied by an elaborate Carolingian-style monogram of Prince Sicard, composed of interlaced Latin letters forming a cross-like device. The monogram is built upon a vertical and horizontal axis with individual letter strokes radiating outward in a bold, angular relief characteristic of ninth-century Lombard coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the monogram in the outer field, identifying the issuing prince and his title. |
