Interesting fact
The Visigothic Kingdom's Tremissis - Suintila (Acci) coin, made of gold and weighing 1.39g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time of significant cultural and political change in Europe. The Visigoths were a Germanic tribe that had conquered much of the Roman Empire, including the Iberian Peninsula, and established their own kingdom. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the blending of Roman and Gothic cultures, with the obverse featuring a crowned bust of King Suintila and the reverse displaying a cross and the inscription "Suenila Rex" (King Suintila). This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the Visigothic Kingdom during the 7th century.
