Interesting fact

The Visigothic Kingdom, which issued the Tremissis - Recaredo I (Elvora) 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 influences. The Tremissis coin, made of gold and weighing 1.45g, was a standard circulation coin during the reign of Recaredo I (586-601), and it is an interesting example of the kingdom's currency and economic system during that time.
