Follis with the Bust of Christ Nimbé Tancred 6th Type

Obverse description	Facing frontal bust of Christ Pantokrator, nimbate, depicted in Byzantine iconographic tradition with draped robes visible at the shoulders. The nimbus bears the characteristic cross form. To the right of the bust, a Greek IC XC christogram or similar devotional inscription appears in the field, partially legible due to the irregularity of the flan. The portrait is rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial style consistent with Crusader-period copper coinage of Antioch.

Reverse description	A plain cross pattée occupies the central field, dividing the reverse into four quadrants. Portions of a Greek or Latin legend are distributed in the angles and surrounding field, though heavily worn and partially illegible on this example. The coarse hammered fabric and irregular flan edges are characteristic of the Antiochene copper issues struck under Tancred as regent of the Principality.
