Interesting fact

The Visigothic Kingdom's Tremissis coin, minted during the reign of King Witerico (603-610) and made of gold, weighing 1.47g, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features the first known use of the Latin phrase "Soli Deo Gloria" (Glory to God Alone) on a coin, which reflects the strong Christian beliefs of the Visigoths during that time.
