| Reverse description | The reverse bears a Latin votive or dedicatory legend arranged in multiple lines across the field, reading EPC S VENANTIVS ECCL BNE, invoking Saint Venantius and referencing the episcopal church of Luni. The inscription is set in a crude, irregular hand typical of early medieval hammered billon issues, with letters of varying size and alignment. The field is heavily worn and pitted, consistent with the age and base alloy of the coin. No distinct border or decorative element frames the legend. The overall composition reflects the documentary rather than artistic intent of Lombard-era ecclesiastical token coinage. |
