| Reverse description | Central device consisting of an open staurogram (tau-rho monogram of Christ) without a star on either side, presented as the sole type within the field. The staurogram is enclosed within a laurel or pearl wreath that encircles the entire design, a convention borrowed from Byzantine prototype coinage. The reverse is devoid of any legend or exergual inscription, reflecting the simplified iconographic program characteristic of Lombard fractional silver coinage. The die workmanship is typical of early medieval hammer-struck issues, with irregular fabric and somewhat crude execution. |
