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 king of Italy. This design element was not seen in the coinage of his predecessors or successors, making it a distinctive characteristic of Berengar's coins.
