Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tremissis - Desiderius (Treviso) (757-774) coin is that it was issued during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The Lombard Kingdom, which was a Germanic tribe that had conquered much of Italy, was in power during this time and Desiderius, the king who issued the coin, was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to unify the Lombard territories. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a testament to the advanced minting techniques and artistic skills of the Lombards, and it is a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
