Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tremissis coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Byzantine Empire, which was the eastern half of the Roman Empire that survived for over 1,000 years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The coin was made of gold and weighed 1.5 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after form of currency during its time.
