Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tremissis - Erwig (Toleto) 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 was issued during the reign of King Erwig, who was known for his efforts to convert the Visigoths from their traditional Arian Christianity to Catholicism. This period of religious transition is reflected in the coin's design, which features a unique blend of Christian and pagan symbols.
