Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tremissis - Egica (Toleto) coin from the Visigothic Kingdom is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. On one side, the coin bears the image of a cross, symbolizing the Christian faith of the Visigoths, while on the other side, it features a depiction of the Roman goddess Victory, highlighting the cultural influences of the Roman Empire that still lingered in the Visigothic Kingdom during that time. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex and multifaceted nature of the Visigothic society during the 7th century.
