Piombo plomb

Obverse description	Frontal bust of a figure, likely a bishop or saint, depicted in a schematic Lombard style with heavily stylized drapery rendered as a series of vertical striations across the lower garment. The figure wears a rounded headdress or nimbus and appears to be shown in a hieratic, frontal pose characteristic of early medieval ecclesiastical coinage. The relief is low and the flan irregular, with the design occupying most of the field. The crude but expressive engraving reflects the transitional artistic conventions of seventh-century Italian ecclesiastical minting.

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.
