| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored equestrian figure of Count Roger I moving to right, depicted in a bold, stylized Norman manner. The rider sits astride a walking horse, rendered with strong, somewhat schematic lines characteristic of early Norman Sicilian hammered coinage. The legend ROQERIVS COMES (or variant spelling) runs in a circular arrangement within the surrounding field, framing the central device. The overall design reflects a fusion of Latin and Byzantine artistic traditions prevalent in late 11th-century Sicily. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Roger I introduced this coin type as part of a deliberate monetary policy following his consolidation of Sicily from Arab and Byzantine control. The bilingual and bicultural character of his court — where Arabic, Greek, and Latin administrators worked alongside one another — is reflected in the coinage he authorized, which drew simultaneously on Islamic flan and weight traditions and Latin Christian iconography. The Trifollaro itself derives its denomination structure from the Byzantine follaro system already familiar to Sicilian users.
MEC 14, 1 places this as the opening entry of the entire Southern Italy and Sicily volume — not an accident.
