| Obverse description | Facing frontal bust of Saint Peter, depicted in Byzantine style, wearing a turban-like head covering characteristic of this second type. The saint is shown draped, holding a patriarchal cross to one side and a sword, with long beard rendered in stylized relief. A circular Greek legend surrounds the central effigy, invoking divine aid for the ruler Tancred. The die-cutting reflects the hybrid Crusader-Byzantine artistic tradition of the Antiochene mint. |

| Reverse description | A bold Greek cross occupies the central field, dividing the die into four quadrants, each containing one element of the Christological acclamation IC XC NI KA. The arms of the cross are plain and well-defined, with the abbreviated legend neatly distributed around them. A circular border encloses the entire design. The overall composition follows standard Byzantine numismatic convention for this type of votive reverse formula. |
