Interesting fact
The Visigothic Kingdom's Tremissis - Wamba (Ispali) 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 Iberian Peninsula and established their kingdom, which lasted from the 5th to the 8th centuries. The Tremissis coin was introduced during the reign of King Wamba (672-680) and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the kingdom. Its gold content and intricate design made it a valuable and highly sought-after currency, not only within the Visigothic Kingdom but also beyond its borders. Despite the coin's age, it remains a fascinating piece of history and a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the people who created it.
