Interesting fact
The Visigothic Kingdom's Standard circulation coin Tremissis - Sisebuto (Eminio) (612-621) made of Gold (.718) weighing 1.457 g is an interesting coin because it was used during a time of great cultural and religious change in Europe. The Visigoths were a Germanic tribe that had conquered much of the Roman Empire and established their own kingdom in what is now modern-day Spain and Portugal. This coin was issued during the reign of King Sisebuto, who was known for his efforts to convert the Visigothic people from their traditional pagan beliefs to Christianity. The coin's design features a cross on one side and the king's name on the other, reflecting the cultural and religious shifts that were taking place during this time period.
