One interesting fact about the Denaro - Raymond della Torre (Tower) ND (1274) coin from the Patriarchate of Aquileia is that it features a unique design element - a tower on the reverse side, which gives the coin its name. This tower is believed to represent the tower of the Patriarchal Palace in Aquileia, which was the residence of the Patriarchs of Aquileia, who were powerful religious leaders in the region. The inclusion of this tower on the coin may have been a symbol of the Patriarchs' authority and power.
