Reverse description Central wheel or rosette motif with radiating spokes dividing the field into segments, each containing a pellet or petal, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The design evokes a stylized star or floral wheel, a motif common on Lombard tremisses of the Ticinum mint. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner beaded border, citing the mint name Flavia Ticinum (Pavia). The irregular flan and hand-struck technique lend the coin a characteristic organic outline typical of eighth-century Lombard gold coinage.
