| Beschrijving voorzijde | Faithful reproduction of the obverse of a Visigothic tremissis struck in the name of King Leovigildo at the Toledo mint. The central field features the stylized royal effigy characteristic of late antique Visigothic coinage, enclosed within an inner beaded border. The surrounding legend, rendered in degraded Latin, carries the name of the issuer, the face value, the date, and the mint mark. The design faithfully replicates the archaic epigraphic and artistic conventions of the 6th–7th century Visigothic monetary tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leovigild, who ruled the Visigothic kingdom from 568 to 586, was the first barbarian king in the West to strike gold coinage in his own name rather than in the name of the Byzantine emperor — a deliberate break from the fiction of Roman continuity that his predecessors had maintained for generations. His tremissis coinage effectively announced political independence through monetary policy. The Royal Mint's 2011 recreation replicates the type struck at Toledo, which Leovigild established as the Visigothic capital.
