1 Tremissis Torso with ten sections, with R

Lombard-period Tuscan tremisses of this type are among the most contested attributions in early medieval Italian numismatics — scholars continue to debate whether these issues originated at Lucca or at a secondary mint operating under loose ducal authority. The "torso with ten sections" classification is a modern die-study grouping, not a contemporary designation. The MEC I gap reference signals that this piece falls outside or between the catalogued series, which itself reflects how fragmentary the documentary record for seventh-century Tuscan gold coinage remains.
