| Obverse description | Facing frontal bust of Prince Siconulf rendered in a stylised Italo-Byzantine manner, displaying a bearded visage with large, deeply-cut eyes and formalised hair rendered as short parallel strokes beneath a crown or diadem. The figure is shown in draped garments with schematic folds visible at the lower portion of the bust. The legend SICONOLFVS is distributed around the bust within a beaded border, the letters arranged in the field flanking the effigy on both sides and above, characteristic of Lombard imitative solidus coinage modelled on Byzantine prototypes. |
