| Reverse description | A crowned sovereign, likely representing the Patriarch of Aquileia or a Friulian ruler, seated frontally on an ornate throne beneath a columned architectural canopy in a Romanesque-Byzantine style. Two standing attendant figures flank the throne on either side. The engraver's signature DRVTTI-N.F. appears in the lower central field below the throne. A beaded inner border surrounds the central design, with the commemorative Friulian legend arching around the upper periphery and the anniversary dates 981 • 1981 in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Friuli's millennium commemorative arrived two years late — the 1981 issue date on the coin marks a thousand years since the March of Friuli was reorganized under the Holy Roman Empire, but production didn't reach circulation until 1983. The "Furlan" denomination is entirely notional, a regional assertion with no legal tender status under Italian law, issued by cultural and autonomist organizations rather than any monetary authority.
