Frankish gold Tremissis with Christian cross, issued by minter Madelinus, Dorestad, The Netherlands, mid-600s.

Tremissis was a currency of the Late Ancient Rome, equal to one-third of a solidus. Tremissis coins continued to be minted by descendants of the Roman Empire, such as Anglo-Saxon Britain^[1] or the Eastern Roman Empire.^[2]
