Comment
Coin MCM 3864 from INCM museumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Tremissis coin is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and religious change in the Visigothic Kingdom. The coin features an image of King Egica and Wittiza (also known as Eliberri) on one side, and a cross on the other, reflecting the kingdom's transition from a pagan to a Christian society. Despite its small weight, the coin played a significant role in the economy of the time and remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
