Comment
Coin MCM 12392 from INCM museumInteresting fact
The Tremissis - Hermenegildo (Ispali) coin from the Visigothic Kingdom is interesting because it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. On one side, it depicts a cross, which symbolizes the Christian faith, while on the other side, it features a image of the goddess Victory, which was a common motif in ancient Roman and Greek coinage. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Visigothic Kingdom during that time period.
