Suinthila ruled the Visigothic Kingdom from 621 until he was deposed by Sisenand in 631 — the first Iberian ruler to hold authority over the entire peninsula after expelling the last Byzantine enclaves from Spania in 625. That military achievement was significant enough that Isidore of Seville praised him explicitly in his Historia Gothorum, though Isidore later revised his opinion after the usurpation. Tarraco, the mint city, was the old Roman provincial capital of Hispania Tarraconensis and remained one of the more productive Visigothic tremissis mints throughout the seventh century.
