Very rare. Virtually as struck and almost FdcδδδδδδThis is the first appearance of Asidona as a mint and this coin comes from the Fuentes de Andalucía hoard buried in the first years of Suinthila but Asidona should have been recovered from the Byzantine a decade earlier when Sisebut recovered the whole Southern part of the Enclave. It was originally under the control of the Byzantine but Leovigild recovered it but may have gone back to the Byzantine before the reign of Sisebut. Interesting and rare mint.
