| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays the mint name of Lucca arranged in two horizontal lines across the field, reading VISTA / LEDCH, a contracted form of CIVITAS LUCA (City of Lucca). The bold, angular Carolingian letterforms fill the flan, with no additional decorative elements. The legends are clearly struck, though the irregular hammered flan results in some peripheral weakness. This type of reverse inscription, with the mint name presented in two lines, is characteristic of Carolingian deniers and obols struck at Italian mints during the reign of Louis the Pious. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Louis I inherited the Frankish throne in 814 following Charlemagne's death and almost immediately faced the challenge of maintaining the monetary reform his father had imposed across a sprawling, administratively fragile empire. The Lucca mint had been active under Carolingian authority since at least the late eighth century, serving the commercial needs of northern Italy — a region whose integration into the Frankish monetary system was always more administrative ambition than economic reality.
The obol denomination, half the denarius, saw relatively limited production at most Carolingian mints. Lucca is among the few Italian workshops confirmed to have struck it under Louis.
