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 used to differentiate his coins from those of his predecessors and successors, and it has become a recognizable symbol of his reign.
