| Reverse description | A large Latin letter T (tau cross) dominates the center of the field, rendered in bold relief and serving as the principal design element. Above the tau cross, an Arabic Kufic inscription bearing the ruler's name or title is struck in the upper portion of the field. The composition reflects the unique Arabo-Norman syncretism of the Sicilian royal coinage, combining a Christian symbolic motif with Arabic script. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat uneven, consistent with hammered gold coinage of the early Norman period in Sicily. |
