Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denaro - Bertrand ND (1334-1350) coin from the Patriarchate of Aquileia is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. While most coins from this era and region feature a standardized design, this particular coin has a distinctive image of a bird, believed to be a representation of the Holy Spirit, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design element sets it apart from other coins of the time and makes it a sought-after collector's item for numismatists interested in rare and unusual coin designs.
