| 正面描述 | 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. |

Sicard ruled Benevento from 832 until his murder in 839, when a palace conspiracy ended the longest-surviving Lombard principality's period of relative stability. His coinage was struck at a moment when Benevento navigated carefully between Carolingian pressure from the north and Byzantine influence along the Adriatic coast — nominal submission to neither translated into a distinct monetary identity that borrowed from both traditions. The assassination was carried out by his own brother Siconulf, whose subsequent rivalry with the usurper Radelchis fractured the principality permanently in 849.
