| Beschrijving voorzijde | Royal Carolingian monogram of Lothair II composed of interlaced letters, centrally placed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is rendered in the characteristic Carolingian diplomatic style, with letters assembled into a compact cruciform device. A Latin legend surrounds the central motif between the inner beaded circle and the irregular flan edge, reading clockwise from a cross pattée. The die work is typical of the Pavia mint under Lothair II, showing the bold, slightly crude engraving characteristic of tenth-century Italian royal coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lothair II of Italy — not to be confused with the Carolingian Lothair II of Lotharingia — ruled the Kingdom of Italy for barely three years before dying in 950, likely poisoned, clearing the way for Berengar II to seize power. His reign was largely a puppet arrangement; Berengar had already been the real political force behind the throne since 947. Coins struck in his name at Pavia, the traditional seat of Lombard and then Carolingian royal authority in Italy, represent one of the shortest regal coinages of the Italian kingdom.
The Pavia mint had operated continuously since the Lombard period. Under Lothair II it produced deniers in the debased Carolingian tradition that had been standard in northern Italy for over a century.
