| Obverse description | Central pellet enclosed within a plain circle, itself surrounded by an inner band of pseudo-Kufic script imitating Fatimid formulae. An outer marginal legend in Latin gives the ruler's name and title. The overall composition is concentric and symmetrical, typical of Southern Italian tarì coinage reflecting the dual cultural influences of Norman-Lombard and Islamic artistic traditions. |
