Comment
This coin was said to be struck in the name of Justinian I (527-565) in the mid- to late-6th century. Even so, there is nothing in the legend to suggest which ruler this coin was struck in the name of.Interesting fact
The 1 Tremissis coin from Uncertain Germanic tribes made of Gold weighing 1.34g is interesting because it is a rare example of a gold coin from a group of tribes that were known for their silver and base metal coinage. The fact that it was made of gold suggests that it may have been a special issue or ceremonial coin, and its rarity makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
