Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a cross with curved arms - which was a distinctive feature of Berengar's coinage during his reign as Emperor of the Carolingian States. This design element was not seen in previous coinage of the Kingdom of Italy and was a deliberate choice made by Berengar to differentiate his coins from those of his predecessors.
