Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Tremissis (Vouzon) coin from the Kingdom of Neustria (Frankish Kingdoms) is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of significant cultural and economic change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of King Dagobert I, who ruled the Frankish Kingdoms from 629 to 639 AD. This was a period of great religious, political, and social upheaval, as the Frankish Empire was expanding its territories and influencing the development of medieval European society. Despite the challenges of this time, the Tremissis coin remained a stable and widely accepted form of currency, reflecting the growing economic power and influence of the Frankish Kingdoms.
