| Beschrijving keerzijde | Facing bust in stylized Visigothic style, rendered frontally with schematic facial features typical of mid-seventh century Iberian coinage, surrounded by crosses and star-like decorative elements arranged in the field. A beaded border encircles the central design, with the mint and royal epithet legend EMERITA PIVS distributed around the periphery in Latin capitals, attributing the issue to the mint of Emerita (modern Mérida) and describing the king as pius (pious). The reverse maintains the characteristic flat, abstract artistic treatment of Visigothic tremisses of this period. |

Chindasuinth seized power in 642 by deposing Tulga, whom he then had tonsured and confined to a monastery. His reign was marked by systematic purges of the Visigothic nobility — a ruthlessness that apparently bought him eleven years of uncontested rule. Emerita Augusta, modern Mérida, remained one of the most productive mint cities of the Visigothic period, its output traceable through CNV die studies that distinguish it cleanly from Toledo and Ispali issues.
Pliego 533 sits within a tight emission linked to the middle years of his reign, before his son Recceswinth was elevated as co-ruler in 649.
