The 1 Tremissis coin from the Duchy of Tuscany (Lombardic Duchy of Tuscany) made of Gold weighing 1.36 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when gold coins were not commonly used in Europe. The use of gold coins during this time period was a sign of wealth and power, and the fact that this coin was widely accepted as currency speaks to the economic and political influence of the Duchy of Tuscany during this time.
