Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of religious and political symbols. On one side, it bears the image of Pope John X, while on the other, it features the image of Emperor Berengar I. This reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the time, where the Papal States and the Holy Roman Empire were closely linked. The coin's silver content and relatively small weight also make it a notable example of medieval coinage.
