| Reverse description | Central field features a cross potent on steps, rendered boldly in high relief in the Lombard-Byzantine tradition. Flanking the cross shaft are the initials S and C in the field, which on certain varieties appear retrograde and/or inverted, serving as the monogram of Sico. The cross is surmounted by a smaller cross-crosslet finial. A circular Latin legend ARCHANGELVS MICHAEL surrounds the central device. The design reflects the strong Byzantine ecclesiastical influence prevalent in Beneventan tremissis coinage of the early ninth century. |
