SISEBUTH (612-621). tremysis. (Au. 1.47g/18mm). Ispali (Sevilla). (CNV. 219.26; R. Sheet 275d). Obv: Bust from front, around legend: SISEBVTVS RE +. Rev: Bust from front, around legend: ISPALI PIVS +. Extremely Fine. Nice specimen, scarce like that.

The Ispali mint was one of the most productive on the peninsula and is characterized, fundamentally, by issues of gold tremises in very careful qualities, being minted throughout the entire Visigothic presence in the city. These issues begin with Leovigildo whose legend CVM DEO OPTINVIT SPALI differs from all subsequent ones that include only the name of the city. In this specific case, it also includes the word PIVS, which alludes to an attribute of the monarch himself, being able to find in other examples, too, the adjectives IVSTVS or VICTOR. The Ispali coin is highly influential not only in Baetica or Carthaginensis but even in areas as far away as Gallaecia.
