1 Tremissis With line above, M to the left

Lucca was among the most economically active Lombard cities of the eighth century, and its tremisses — struck under Lombard authority but with a distinctly local character — circulated widely across northern Italy. The line above the numeral and the lateral M placement are die-specific features that distinguish this subtype within what is otherwise a tightly grouped series, making reference alignment to CNI XI#8 and MEC I#318 essential for attribution rather than optional.
