Sicily (or Sardina?), c. 13 Century A.D.
|Sicily|, |Sicily| |(or| |Sardina?),| |c.| |13| |Century| |A.D.|, This coin was part of a group of denari of the Kingdom of Sicily, mostly from the 13th century but some later. Although this coin is apparently unpublished and the attribution is uncertain, it is almost certainly from the same time and place as the rest of the coins. The MI on the coin appears to indicate the denomination. The denaro piccolo or picciolo (plural: denari piccoli), is also known as minutus or minuto (plural: minuti).
