| Reverse description | A small, upright Latin cross occupies the central field, rendered in a simple, bold style characteristic of early medieval Italian gold coinage. The cross is surrounded by a circular band of repetitive, pseudo-epigraphic lettering forming a degenerate and meaningless legend, a common feature of late Lombard and transitional coinage of this period. The overall composition is enclosed within a beaded or pellet border, consistent with the hammered gold tremissis tradition of eighth-century Lucca. |
