Tremissis - Wamba Cordoba

Wamba's reign is one of the more turbulent chapters in Visigothic history — he reportedly had to be compelled to accept the kingship, and his later deposition by Erwig in 680, achieved through a forged illness and forced tonsure rather than open revolt, remains one of the period's stranger political maneuvers. Córdoba operated as a regional mint under Visigothic administration, and tremisses attributable to this combination of king and mint are genuinely scarce in the numismatic record.
