Denier - Adelchis temple

Descrizione del dritto	A stylized temple facade occupies the central field, depicted with a triangular pediment above a rectangular body with visible horizontal architectural elements, rendered in the rudimentary hammered style characteristic of Lombard Beneventan coinage. The temple motif is enclosed within a circular legend running along the periphery of the flan. The overall execution is typical of ninth-century southern Italian numismatic art, with bold, irregular letterforms and a schematic architectural representation.

Descrizione del rovescio	A Latin cross mounted on three graduated steps occupies the central field, a composition symbolizing the crux gemmata and characteristic of Beneventan ecclesiastical iconography of the ninth century. The cross is boldly rendered in relief, with clearly delineated steps beneath its base. A circular peripheral legend in Latin surrounds the central device, with letter spacing occasionally punctuated by interpuncts. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-hammered production techniques of the period.
