| Obverse description | Facing bust of the king in a highly schematic, late Visigothic style, rendered in low relief with a domed helmet or diadem surmounted by a prominent central pellet and radiating lines suggesting a crown or crest. The effigy is flanked by stylized pellets and cross motifs in the field, reflecting the degenerate but characteristic artistic conventions of the final phase of Visigothic coinage. A surrounding Latin legend, partially degenerate and difficult to read, encircles the central device within a beaded border. |
