| Beschrijving keerzijde | Winged figure of Saint Michael the Archangel standing facing left, holding a long staff in one hand and a shield in the other, rendered in a schematic style typical of Lombard hammered gold coinage. The archangel is depicted frontally with spread wings, occupying the central field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, reading SCS M - IHAHIL, an abbreviated and partially corrupted form of Sanctus Michael. The reverse design reflects the strong ecclesiastical and Byzantine iconographic influence prevalent in Lombard royal coinage of the early eighth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Liutprand ruled the Lombard Kingdom for over three decades — the longest reign of any Lombard king — and his gold tremisses reflect a coinage policy that consciously mimicked late Byzantine solidi while gradually asserting local identity through subtle die variations, including the single letter in field that distinguishes this type. The precise meaning of that letter remains debated: mint mark, officina designation, or die cutter's mark are all proposed without consensus.
His reign saw the Lombards press hard against the Exarchate of Ravenna, twice bringing Liutprand's armies within reach of Rome itself.
