Interesting fact

The Visigothic Kingdom's Tremissis coin, minted during the reign of King Sisebuto (612-621) in the city of Sagunto, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of gold, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. The fact that it weighs 1.43 grams suggests that it was a significant amount of gold, making it a valuable and important coin in the Visigothic economy.
