Interesting 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 his son Wittiza, who ruled the kingdom during a period of significant religious upheaval, as the Visigoths transitioned from paganism to Christianity. Despite this change, the coin still features the traditional Gothic motifs and symbols, showcasing the blending of cultures and religions during this time period.
