Zorita de los Canes, Spain

Recópolis had a mint, or coin factory, that began to coin once the city was in operation, and issued currency, except for the minting of Witiza, during the first phase of the Visigothic Kingdom in the reigns of Leovigildo, Recaredo and Suintila. Together with Toledo, Recópolis, he owned the only mint of the southern sub-plateau.
The materials found in the archaeological site indicate that in them there were workshops of goldsmithing and glass production, and that the consumer goods that arrived in Recópolis, from other areas of the Peninsula and from different areas of the Mediterranean were also commercialized.
