| Reverse description | Arabic inscription arranged in a radiating hexagonal pattern across the field, with textual segments disposed between six sectors emanating from a central pellet, imitating the star motif of the obverse in a purely epigraphic composition. The legends fill the entire field in a bold, Kufic-influenced script typical of Sicilian Norman coinage. A dotted or beaded outer border frames the design. The layout reflects the bilingual, multicultural administrative tradition of the Norman court of Palermo. |
