De qualité exceptionnelle, et d’une frappe vigoureuse, on distingue sur cet exemplaire les traces des lettres et des motifs en creux de l’autre côté.

Historical background
SPAIN - VISIGOTHS - SISEBUT
(612-02/621)
Sisebut was elected king of the Visigoths in 612, after the death of Gundmar. His reign was marked by a Catholic intolerance characterized in particular by a persecution of the Jews. Conqueror, he submitted the Astures and the Vascons. He built up a fairly large fleet which went so far as to besiege Ceuta, then under Byzantine domination. He died assassinated in February 621, probably following a plot fomented by General Suintila.
