Norman Italy, Duchy of Apulia, William II, 1111 - 1127 A.D.
|Italy|, |Norman| |Italy,| |Duchy| |of| |Apulia,| |William| |II,| |1111| |-| |1127| |A.D.|, The reverse type and undertype are both off-center, obscure and unusual. The normal reverse is a cross with V-V / D-X in the quarters, but on this coin it appears to read X in both the third and fourth quarter. The undertype is similar to the referenced examples, however the normal star has eight points and does not have pommée rays. We would assume it is a completely different type, except it does appear to have the usual X to the lower right and we are unable to suggest a better possibility.
