Tremissis - Sisebuto Toleto

Sisebut came to the Visigothic throne in 612 with unusual intellectual credentials — he corresponded with Isidore of Seville, wrote a Latin poem on lunar eclipses, and was one of the few early medieval kings to leave a substantial literary output. His reign is also notable for the forced conversion of the Iberian Jewish population, a royal edict that the church itself found overzealous. Toledo had been the fixed royal capital since Leovigild's consolidation in the late sixth century, and tremisses struck there under Sisebut are among the better-documented issues of the series.
