Interesting fact
The 1 Tremissis coin from Lombardy (Lombard Kingdom) made of Gold weighing 1.43 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Justin II (568-690 AD). Despite being made of gold, it was not a high-denomination coin, but it still held significant value in the economy of the time. Additionally, the design of the coin, featuring Victory facing left and a small ribbon, is a unique aspect that sets it apart from other coins of the same era.
