Interesting fact
The Visigothic Kingdom, which issued the Tremissis - Leovigildo (Caesaraugusta) coin, was a Germanic kingdom that ruled much of the Iberian Peninsula from the 5th to the 8th century. The kingdom was known for its military prowess, cultural achievements, and religious tolerance. The Tremissis coin, made of gold and weighing 1.3 grams, was a standard circulation coin during the reign of King Leovigildo (575-586 AD). It features an interesting blend of Roman and Germanic influences in its design, reflecting the cultural exchange and fusion that characterized the Visigothic Kingdom.
