(en) Carolingian coinage in the northern and central territories of the Italian peninsula, conquered by Charlemagne in 774, is first marked by continuity with Lombard traditions: Tremissis continue to be minted in the years following the conquest and the mints of the last Lombard king, Desiderius, remain in activity. The Kingdom of Italy does not appear in the chronicles until 781, when Charlemagne's son, Carloman, was crowned there as Pepin I of Italy. That same year, we moved from a gold-based monetary system to a silver-based one. The evolution of the types of coins illustrates the gradual adaptation of Italian issues to The Frankish models. A specificity of this territory is the small number of mints. The lack of locally mined metal is one of the causes explaining the low volume of Carolingian mintage in Italy, which had to import metal especially from the mines of Melle for its production. It was from the 11th century that the crown of Italy became closely related to the imperial crown, after the King of Germany Otto I had overthrown Berengar II in 951 and took the title of King of Italy, which his successors, the Holy Roman Emperors, then automatically inherited.
