Comment
This may be a local imitation of an official Lombard issue.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Maurice Tiberius, who was the Duke of Tuscany from 590 to 602 AD. Despite its small weight, the coin was still considered a significant denomination in its time and was widely used in trade and commerce. Additionally, the coin's design features a messy bust of Maurice Tiberius, which sets it apart from other coins minted during his reign.
