This is a personal milestone for me because one of the collecting areas I&#039;m interested in is the coinage of the Germanic tribes, and since I am on a budget I am trying to acquire them as cheaply as possible (have 3 Vandal and one Ostrogothic so far). The Visigoths were the tribe that sacked Rome in 410 AD, then they settled in Hispania and established a kingdom that lasted almost three hundred years, until falling to a Muslim army that invaded from North Africa. </p><p>Since they settled in Spain, my ancestral homeland, who knows; I think I possibly might even have Visigothic ancestors! </p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: Bust facing (kinda looks like a cute little bird imo <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p>Rev: Cross, S in left field, P in right field, Hispalis mint (minted around mid-7th century AD)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]243099.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the Visigothic Kingdom around 700 AD:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]243103.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
