Obverse description Draped bust of a figure facing right in low relief, rendered in a schematic Merovingian style, enclosed within a plain inner circle. The portrait features a rounded head with rudimentary facial detail and a beaded ornament or diadem descending from the crown. The surrounding legend reads ISPANACONI VICO, distributed around the periphery in debased Latin capitals, with the outer edge of the flan showing characteristic irregular hammered contours.

Reverse description A bold cross pattée with globular terminals at each arm tip occupies the central field, rendered in high relief against a plain gold ground and enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A stylized serpentine or wave-like motif appears above the cross, a distinctive feature of this Merovingian tremissis type. Three pellets are arranged in a triangular grouping at the base of the design below the inner circle. The moneyer's name NANTOALDOS is inscribed around the periphery in debased Latin capitals, identifying the monetarius responsible for the issue.
