Comment
Some sources say this coin was minted in the name of Heraclius.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tremissis (Draped torso) coin from the Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the Lombardic Duchy of Tuscany during the 7th century. The coin's design includes a draped torso, which is a departure from the traditional depiction of royalty or deities found on coins of that time. This design element suggests that the coin may have been influenced by the art and culture of the Byzantine Empire, which was known for its use of draped figures in art and architecture.
