| 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. |
