| Reverse description | A stylized eagle displayed occupies the central field of the reverse, rendered in the crude, low-relief manner associated with hammered petty coinage of the Angevin period in Sicily. The bird's wings are spread and the general form is schematic, consistent with the Hohenstaufen-Angevin heraldic tradition inherited by Charles I. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading + IERL · ET · SICIL ·, an abbreviation for Hierusalem et Siciliae, referencing the king's titular claims to Jerusalem and Sicily. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, as expected for this denomination and era. |
