Interesting fact
The Visigothic Kingdom's Tremissis coin, minted during the reign of Sisebuto (612-621 AD), is an interesting example of early medieval coinage. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of gold, a valuable and durable metal that was highly prized during that time. The use of gold for coins was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Visigothic Kingdom, and it helped to establish the coin's value and legitimacy. Despite being small in size, weighing only 1.41 grams, the Tremissis coin played an important role in the economy of the Visigothic Kingdom and was widely used for trade and commerce.
