Comment
Struck after 509 under the government of Theodoric, in the name of Anastasius I (491-518).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tremissis - Amalarico (507-531) coin from the Visigothic Kingdom is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and religious exchange between the Visigoths and the Roman Empire. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not used for large transactions, but rather for everyday purchases and trade. Its small size and portability made it an ideal currency for the common people, and it played an important role in facilitating economic activity during this period.
