Reccopolis was founded by Leovigild in 578 and is believed to be named for his son Reccared I who succeeded his father in 586. It is presently the most important archaeological site and museum of the Visigothic Period. The most important hoard of 90 early Visigothic coins was found in an archaeological excavation there in 1944-45 and dated to 578. After Reccared I for which 7 coins are known, the mint was not very active and only coins of Sisebut (1 coin, lot 908), Suinthila (4 coins, lot 1053) and Wittiza (2 coins) are known.
