Tremissis - Sisenand Egitania

Sisenand seized the Visigothic throne in 631 by allying with the Frankish king Dagobert I, ceding the missorium of Aetius — a massive late-Roman silver dish — as payment for Frankish military support. His reign lasted only until 636, making issues from his mints scarce by duration alone. Egitania, modern Idanha-a-Velha in Portugal, was a minor episcopal see with limited output, and tremisses attributable to this mint and reign combination are among the rarer intersections in Visigothic gold.
