Visigoths. Anonymous Pseudo-Imperial gold Tremissis ND (c. 6th Century) AU (Graffiti), MEC I-Unl., cf. Tomasini-Group JAN 5.357. 18mm. 1.40gm. ƆИ IVSTИI | Λ PIVS (or ИIVS) PΛC, draped, diademed, Byzantine-style bust right with square shoulders and cross on chest / VICTOR | ΛΛ | ΛST (S retrograde), Victory or Angel proceeding right; COHO in exergue. A handsome and highly lustrous example of the type, struck with ideal centering and minimal weakness across a good style pseudo-imperial bust. Although the exact attribution of this type to the Visigoths is somewhat tentative--owing to close stylistic parallels between the pseudo-Imperial coinage of the Visigoths and Merovingians, particularly in Septimania--this style of Victory is generally considered to be more heavily Visigothic.
