Interesting fact

The Tremissis - Wamba (Cordoba) coin was used as a form of currency during the Visigothic Kingdom, which was a Germanic kingdom that ruled over much of the Iberian Peninsula (present-day Spain and Portugal) from the 5th to the 8th centuries. The coin was made of gold and weighed 1.46 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was an important symbol of wealth and power, and it was used for trade and commerce throughout the kingdom.
