Extremely fine Privately purchased from NAC in 1996. WJC: Probably an issue of Guaimar I (1039-1052 AD). The Latin elements likely refer to Guaimar I of Amalfi (IV of Salerno), prince of Salerno (1027-1052 AD) and overlord of Amalfi (1039-1052 AD). Very early for Amalfi and listed as UNIQUE by Cappelli for Salerno. The legends contain the "tree with overhanging branches" symbol which Grierson associates with Amalfi (see the later anonymous tarì of Amalfi in this collection for example).
