| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicting a patriarchal cross with a transverse bar raised on three graduated steps, rendered in bold relief typical of Carolingian hammered coinage. The cross and steps fill the inner field, conveying imperial and ecclesiastical authority. Encircling the central motif is a beaded or linear border, with the imperial legend distributed around the periphery of the flan in large, irregularly spaced Latin capital letters. The flan is characteristically irregular in outline, with slight die-shift visible, consistent with hand-struck medieval production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis II co-ruled Benevento with his empress Angelberga during a turbulent Italian campaign against the Arab occupation of Bari, a siege that finally succeeded in 871 — the same year this joint issue ceased. The inclusion of Angelberga's name on a coin alongside a Carolingian emperor is genuinely unusual; empresses rarely received such explicit monetary recognition, and scholars have read it as Louis reinforcing dynastic legitimacy at a moment when his grip on southern Italy was anything but secure.
Louis was captured by the Lombard prince Adelchis of Benevento in August 871, held for roughly a month, and released only after swearing an oath not to return. He died the following year.
