| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chintila's reign lasted roughly three years before his death in late 639, and his issues from the Cordoba mint fall within a period of intense ecclesiastical politics — he convened the Fourth and Fifth Councils of Toledo, both of which reinforced royal authority over the church while formally expelling Jews from the kingdom. Whether those councils materially influenced mint output at Cordoba is unknown, but the city's importance as a southern administrative center ensured continued gold production throughout his reign. Pliego 487 is among the scarcer Chintila tremisses by documented survivors.
