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 "torso with two sections" design, which sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin depicts the bust of a king, while the reverse side shows a cross with two transverse bars and a small pellet in each angle. This distinctive design was used during the Lombardic Duchy of Tuscany, which was a short-lived political entity that existed in the 7th century. Despite its rarity and historical significance, the 1 Tremissis coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
