Interesting fact
The Visigothic Kingdom's Tremissis - Erwig (Ispali) coin, made of gold and weighing 1.50g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time of significant cultural and political change in Europe. The Visigoths were a Germanic tribe that had conquered much of the Iberian Peninsula and established their kingdom, which lasted from the 5th to the 8th centuries. The Tremissis coin was introduced during the reign of King Erwig (also known as Ispali), who ruled from 680 to 687. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during a time of economic growth and cultural exchange, and its design and inscriptions reflect the blending of Roman and Germanic influences.
