The original symbol for the denarius was an X because it was worth ten asses, so they used the Roman numeral for ten. (The as was a small bronze coin) However around 150 BC the denarius was revalued and was worth 16 asses. The symbol for these more valuable coins was an X with a bar through the center which divided the x into a small v, the Roman numeral for five. The bar itself counted for the numeral 1. X = 10, V = 5, bar = 1, total 16. Value 16 asses.
