Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Tremissis (in the name of Valentinian III, without panels) (425-455) from Suebi Kingdom made of Gold weighing 1.5 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Valentinian III, who was the Western Roman Emperor from 425 to 455 AD. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not minted by the Roman Empire but by the Suebi Kingdom, a Germanic tribe that had settled in the Iberian Peninsula. This highlights the interesting historical fact that even though the Roman Empire was in decline, its currency and influence still extended beyond its borders and were adopted by other cultures.
