| Reverse description | A short, bold cross potent occupies the center of the reverse field, rendered in a simple but prominent style typical of Lombard tremissis imitations. The cross is surrounded by a circular Latin legend in degraded, semi-literate lettering derived from the Byzantine imperial formula. A CONOB-type mint mark reference appears in the lower portion of the legend, imitating the Constantinople gold standard designation. The overall design reflects the strong Byzantine monetary influence on early medieval Italian coinage, though executed with the characteristic crudeness of a barbarian workshop. |
