Reverse description The reverse displays a three-line legend arranged horizontally within a beaded inner circle, reading ROM / ANO / RV, constituting a portion of the word ROMANORVM. A surrounding circular legend carries the inscription ALBRCV PRIC, identifying Alberic as Prince of the Romans. The overall composition reflects the co-issued nature of this coinage, struck under the joint authority of Pope Leo VII and the secular ruler Alberic II of Spoleto, who effectively controlled Rome during this period. The flan remains irregular with typical die shift and weak areas of strike at the margins.
