Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the names of both Berengar II and Adalbert, who were co-rulers of the Kingdom of Italy during the Carolingian States period. This is notable because it highlights the unique political situation of the time, where two rulers shared power in a diarchy. This coin serves as a tangible reminder of this unusual historical event.
