| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a prominent cross pattée at center, with arms of roughly equal length, set within a beaded inner circle. The field around the cross is plain, and the peripheral legend FL · A · PLACENTIAG (Gold of Piacenza) identifies the mint and confirms the gold fineness in abbreviated Latin. The lettering is arranged in crude, unevenly spaced capitals consistent with Lombard workshop practice. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hand-struck tremisses of the Desiderian period produced at the Piacenza mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Desiderius was the last Lombard king, brought to power in 757 with Frankish backing before his relationship with Charlemagne collapsed entirely. The Piacenza mint — one of a handful of active Lombard gold-striking centers — continued operating through the final years of the kingdom until Charlemagne's siege and capture of Pavia in 774 effectively ended Lombard monetary production altogether.
The MEC I unlisted status is not unusual for Lombard tremisses; the series remains poorly systematized, with many mint attributions still contested on the basis of single specimens.
