Naismith records two Tribach pennies of the moneyer Ludoman (L13a-b). Subsequently, two additional specimens have been recorded: one each on the EMC (2014.0344) and PAS (SUR-626A04) respectively. The current specimen is unusual in the rendering of the moneyer’s name as lvdaman as opposed to the lvdoman appearing on the other recorded specimens.
