| Obverse description | Central field features a monogram composed of interlaced letters referencing the ruler Siconulf, arranged around a small cross, with pellets decorating the quarters. The surrounding circular legend in Latin reads PRINCE BENEBENTI SCNF, identifying Siconulf as Prince of Benevento. The coin is struck on an irregular flan with a beaded border encircling the entire design. The lettering is characteristic of the Carolingian-influenced Lombard script style of the mid-ninth century. The overall design reflects the transitional numismatic style of the southern Italian principalities of the period. |
