Additional information

Rudolf II of Burgundy seized the Italian crown in 922 after Berengar I's own magnates turned against him, a political collapse that ended with Berengar's murder at Verona in 924. Rudolf's hold on Italy was never secure — he was effectively expelled by 926 when Hugh of Provence was invited in as a rival claimant — making this a four-year window at most for Milan production.

The brevity of the reign keeps surviving examples scarce relative to Carolingian-tradition deniers from more stable Italian issuers of the same century.
