| Averslegende | CREMONA |
| Reversbeschreibung | Central field features a long cross with small stars or pellets in the angles, enclosed within a linear circle, a common compositional device on Imperial-title denari of northern Italian communes. The surrounding legend invokes Emperor Frederick II, asserting the commune's imperial allegiance. The inscription is distributed around the circumference, partially obscured by the irregularity of the flan and the weakness of the strike. The workmanship is characteristic of hammered billon coinage struck under communal authority in the latter half of the 13th century. Small star-shaped or omega-form punctuation marks serve as word dividers within the legend. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Cremona occupied an awkward political position in thirteenth-century Lombardy — officially Ghibelline and aligned with the emperor, yet a functioning commune with its own civic ambitions. Striking coins in Frederick II's name after his death in 1250 was a deliberate act of political theater: the city retained imperial iconography not out of loyalty to a living sovereign but to assert its jurisdictional independence from papal-backed Guelf rivals in the region. Frederick had been dead for years before this type was even struck.
The CNI IV#32 attribution places this firmly within the later anonymous civic issues, where the imperial name functioned as legal cover rather than genuine allegiance.
