Copper Follario of Roger II of Sicily c. 1130 - 1154

Editor: Here we have a Copper Follario of Roger II of Sicily. It's aged, worn, almost ghostly. I find myself wondering, what stories could this little coin tell? What do you see in this piece? Curator: Ah, it whispers of power and faith, doesn’t it? Imagine the hands it passed through, the markets it fueled. The faint figures suggest a ruler divinely appointed, both earthly and spiritual authority hammered into copper. It’s a tiny window into a complex world. Does it spark your imagination too? Editor: Absolutely! The idea that something so small could represent such large concepts is pretty wild. Thanks for sharing your perspective! Curator: My pleasure! Every coin carries echoes of empires, if you listen closely.
