| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a cross surmounted above the monogram or letters B and R, enclosed within a wreath border, all set within a double linear circle. The wreath is tied at the base with a stylized Hercules knot or binding. The surrounding field carries the circular legend IVSSV RICHIARI REGES B R distributed around the outer border of the flan, asserting the issuing authority of King Rechiar of the Suebi at Bracara (modern Braga). The composition represents a bold assertion of independent royal coinage authority while retaining Roman decorative conventions. |
