Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tremissis - Recaredo I (Contemo) coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Visigothic Kingdom, which was a Germanic kingdom that ruled over much of the Iberian Peninsula (present-day Spain and Portugal) from the 5th to the 8th centuries. The coin was made of gold and weighed 1.44 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the Tremissis was an important coin in the Visigothic economy and was used for everyday transactions.
