| Additional information |
Leovigild was the first Visigothic king to strike coinage in his own name rather than in imitation of Byzantine imperial types — a deliberate break that announced political independence from Constantinople as forcefully as any military action. This Caesaraugusta mint attribution places the piece in what is now Zaragoza, one of the kingdom's most important administrative centers and a site Leovigild held with particular strategic interest during his campaigns to consolidate Hispania under a single Gothic crown.
The CNV 56 / Pliego 26 classification reflects ongoing scholarly refinement of Visigothic mint attribution, much of which rests on subtle metrology and die-link analysis rather than explicit mint signatures.
