Comment
Under the name 'Numismatic Jewels', in 2008 a new series of collector coins begins in which unique pieces of Hispanic numismatics will be reproduced, and which will continue over the next few years. This third edition in the Numismatic Jewels series is dedicated to the Visigothic Tremissis of Suntila and Leovigildo and to the Hispanic-Carthaginian Shekel.The Visigoths were present in Spain from the mid 5th Century to the beginning of the 8th Century. Of consequence were the reigns of Leovigildo (568-586) and Suintila (621-631). Leovigildo made Toledo the true capital of the Kingdom. Under Suintila, Spain became an independent country with sovereignty for the first time in its history. The tremissis that are reproduced in this series were minted in Toledo and in Emerita (present-day Merida) during their reigns.
Interesting fact
The Visigothic Tremissis of Leovigildo, a non-circulating coin from Spain released in 2011, is interesting because it features a unique blend of historical and cultural elements. The coin's design is inspired by the Visigothic tremissis, a gold coin used during the Visigothic Kingdom (5th-8th centuries AD) in what is now modern-day Spain. The coin's obverse features a portrait of King Leovigildo, who ruled the Visigothic Kingdom from 568 to 586 AD, while the reverse depicts the royal insignia of the Visigoths. The use of gold (.999) and the coin's weight of 1.24 grams add to its value and collectibility. This coin is a fascinating piece of history and culture, and its unique design makes it a standout among other coins.
