| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of King Liutprand facing right, rendered in the late antique tradition typical of Lombard gold coinage. A hand is prominently depicted in the field before the bust, a distinctive iconographic feature of this emission. The effigy is executed in low relief consistent with hammered tremisses of the period. The bust is encircled by a Latin legend reading the royal titulature, bordered by a beaded or dotted rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Liutprand ruled the Lombard Kingdom for over three decades — the longest reign of any Lombard king — and used that stability to press aggressively against Byzantine holdings in Italy, seizing Ravenna briefly in 751 (after his death, under Aistulf, but his campaigns laid the groundwork). His gold coinage deliberately echoed late imperial Byzantine tremissis types, a political statement about legitimate succession to Roman authority in the peninsula. The hand in field is an uncommon variant within the Liutprand series, documented in Bernardi's systematic catalog as a distinct emission rather than a die accident.
