The Tareno or Tarì (means in arabic new coined), was the Amalphitain coin between the X century until the  1222, when  Federico II forbidded to Amalfi to coin again. These coins were in gold or silver and some coppers that give a particular red colour.

The coin on the side, represents one of the  Tareni used by the Amalphitains; It was realized in gold and has a cufic inscription with, in the middle, the octagon cross of Amalfi. This coin was used during the last 20 years of the XI century.

Thanks  to the Amalphitain trades, the coin was accepted in all the Mediterranean.
