Reverse description Central design consisting of a cross with expanding arms set within a beaded inner circle, with the legend distributed around the circumference referencing Rome and Emperor Berengar I. The cross motif dominates the central field, rendered in the bold, angular style typical of early medieval Italian deniers. The surrounding inscription ROMA ✠ BERENGARIV MP affirms the joint temporal and spiritual authority underpinning the issue, commemorating Berengar I's imperial coronation by John X in 915. The outer border exhibits a repeated pellet or wedge ornament consistent with hammered coinage of the period.
