Additional information

Gundemar ruled for less than two years before his death in 612, making his coinage among the scarcest of all Visigothic issues by sheer reign duration. The mint attribution to Bergancia — modern Braga, in northwestern Iberia — reflects the continued Visigothic administrative reach into what had been the old Suevic heartland, absorbed into the kingdom only in 585 under Leovigild.

CNV 193 / Pliego 235 is a recognized type, but surviving examples are infrequently encountered in the market.
