Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Lombardic Duchy of Tuscany was an important political and economic power in Italy. The coin's design, including the line above the "S" and the use of gold, reflects the influence of the Byzantine Empire and the Catholic Church on the region's coinage during that time.
