| Reverse description | Frontal bust of Saint Januarius (San Gennaro), patron saint of Naples, depicted with nimbus and in Byzantine episcopal or saintly attire, facing the viewer. The figure is shown in a rigid, hieratic frontal pose consistent with Italo-Byzantine artistic conventions of the late ninth century. The abbreviated Latin legend SCS IANV (Sanctus Ianuarius) is distributed in the field surrounding the bust. The reverse design mirrors the obverse in style and execution, with similarly crude but expressive hammered relief on an irregular flan. |
