Additional information

Sisenand seized the Visigothic throne in 631 by ousting Suinthila with Frankish military backing — a deal that cost him territorial concessions in the Pyrenean frontier and left his reign politically precarious from the start. Eliberri, modern Granada, was one of the southern mints active under Visigothic rule, and its output under Sisenand is sparse enough that attributions to this mint carry weight in any collection.

Pliego's corpus remains the authoritative reference for Visigothic tremisses, and CNV#345 places this issue within a tightly defined group. Few mint cities from this reign are represented by more than a handful of confirmed specimens.
