Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denaro - Pellegrino II ND (1195-1204) coin from the Patriarchate of Aquileia is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. While most coins from this time period and region feature a standardized design, this coin has a distinctive image of a bird, believed to be a dove, surrounded by foliage. This design is not seen on any other coins from the same era, making it a rare and interesting feature for collectors and historians.
