Notes:     Sale: Triton X, Lot: 889 From the Marc Poncin Collection.This coin belongs to the same group of coins that Hahn identified as an Italian mint imitating the style of Rome (MIB III X1-3). The style and date of these suggests an issue of the Lombards, who typically placed an identifying letter or mark in the fields of the reverse.
