| Obverse description | Facing bust of the king rendered in the highly stylized, schematic manner characteristic of late Visigothic coinage, with a prominent beaded or jeweled diadem and a broad, flat face with minimal facial detailing. The bust is shown frontally, draped, with the neck and shoulders indicated by layered arc-like lines. The surrounding circular legend reads +CHINTILA REX, with the letters arranged around the periphery interspersed with cross motifs. The overall design is executed in bold, deeply struck relief typical of hammered Visigothic tremisses, with a beaded border encircling the entire field. |
