Obolo saint

Descrizione del dritto	Central field bears a pattée cross contained within a solid inner circle, the cross arms radiating outward to meet the ring border. A circular legend reading AVSONA is inscribed between two concentric solid circles enclosing the central motif, preceded by a cross pommée stop. The flan is characteristically irregular, the relief low, and the die work consistent with early medieval Catalan ecclesiastical minting practice.

Informazioni aggiuntive	The County of Ausona, centered on the city of Vic in inland Catalonia, issued coinage under the authority of its bishops rather than a secular count — an arrangement that made its monetary production genuinely unusual among Carolingian successor states. This obol falls within a century-long window during which the diocese exercised striking rights largely unchallenged, a privilege rooted in Carolingian grants that outlasted the political framework that created them. At half a denarius, the obol was the smallest transactional unit in regular circulation, used heavily in market tolls and petty dues.
