Comment
The letter that appears in-field is the mintmark; however, which mint is attributed to each letter is not always certain.Interesting fact

The coin features the image of King Liutprand, who ruled the kingdom from 717 to 744, and has a unique letter in the field, which is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
