Interesting fact
The Visigothic Kingdom's Tremissis - Suintila (Toriviana) coin, made of gold and weighing 1.48g, 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, featuring the image of King Suintila, reflects the blending of Roman and Germanic cultures that characterized the Visigothic Kingdom. Despite its small size, this coin played an important role in the economy of the time and offers a glimpse into the complex history of medieval Europe.
