| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude facing bust of Prince Gisulf II depicted in three-quarter view, wearing what appears to be a diadem or crown, with the abbreviated Latin legend CISVLFV arranged before the effigy. The portrait is rendered in the debased Italo-Byzantine style typical of Salernitan coinage of the eleventh century, with bold, somewhat stylized facial features. The flan is irregular and the overall strike is characteristic of hammered bronze issues of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gisulf II was the last independent Prince of Salerno, a ruler whose reputation in contemporary sources — particularly from the Norman chronicler Amatus of Montecassino — is almost uniformly hostile. His principality fell in 1077 when Robert Guiscard besieged the city for eight months before Gisulf surrendered, effectively ending Lombard rule in southern Italy. Bronze folles of this reign are among the final autonomous issues of the Salernitan mint before it came under Norman control.
