This is a denaro terzolo issued from around 1148, when such denari are first mentioned in written documents; the term ‘terzolo’ apparently refers to the alloy, meaning that it contained one third silver (cf. Matzke and Diaz Tabernero 2004; more bibliography in Zecche 2011, p. 873, but 1248 error for 1148).
