Comment
Some sources say this coin was minted in the name of Heraclius.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tremissis coin from the Duchy of Tuscany is that it features a unique design element known as the "Torso with fifteen sections." This design was used on coins issued during the reign of Duke Aripert II (700-712) and is characterized by a series of small, circular sections that cover the torso of the figure depicted on the coin. The use of this design element has been interpreted as a representation of the duchy's administrative divisions or territories.
