Follis - Bohemond I St. Peter

Obverse description	Facing nimbate bust of Saint Peter in Byzantine style, depicted frontally with a nimbus encircling his head. The saint holds a long cross in his left hand, while his right hand is raised in the gesture of benediction. Greek legends are disposed vertically in the left and right fields, identifying the figure as the Apostle Peter. The overall style reflects the early Crusader adoption of Byzantine iconographic conventions.

Reverse description	A cross with a floriated base and pellets at the three remaining terminals, occupying the centre of the field in a style combining Byzantine and Latin influences. The abbreviated name of the issuing prince, Bohemond I, is rendered in Greek characters distributed across the four quadrants of the cross. The design is boldly struck but characteristically irregular in flan preparation, as is typical of early Crusader hammered coinage.
