Visigoths. Tulga gold Tremissis ND (639-642) AU58 NGC, Emerita mint, Miles-309, CNV-400. 1.50gm. +TVLGΛN REX, facing bust / EMERI | T | Λ PIVS, facing bust. By all indications an exceptionally rare mint from this short-reigning king, and the only example we have been able to locate coming to auction in recent decades. Miles recorded just four examples of this type, two in institutional collections (the Cabinet de Médailles in Paris and the Instituto Valencia de Don Juan in Madrid), one in the Manuel Vidal Quadras y Ramón Collection, and one sold by Adolph Cahn in April 1933 (lot 2153), to which the Corpus Nummorum Visigothorum adds a single specimen in the José Luis Lázaro Collection. Struck in virtually identical style to the Emerita Tremisses of Suinthila, Sisenand, Chintila, and Chindasuinthus, this piece shows very mild die rust on the reverse and die polish on the obverse, its general wear pattern very light, with a single minor scuff on the reverse noted for the sake of completeness.
Ex. Dr. Lawrence Adams Collection (CNG Auction 100, October 2015, Lot 369); Purchased from M. Louis Teller in December 1982
