| Beschrijving keerzijde | Stylized facing bust, similar in execution to the obverse, centrally placed within a field densely populated with six-pointed stars arranged symmetrically around the effigy. Two pellets flank the bust at mid-level, and the composition is enclosed within a beaded border. The highly schematized rendering of the royal portrait and the star-filled field are hallmarks of the Emerita mint's output under Chintila, reflecting the strongly abstracted artistic conventions of seventh-century Visigothic gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chintila's reign lasted barely three years, bookended by two Toledo church councils — the Fourth in 633 and the Sixth in 638 — that together forced the king to issue formal guarantees protecting the nobility from arbitrary royal punishment. That political pressure from the ecclesiastical aristocracy defined his rule more than any military campaign. Emerita Augusta, modern Mérida, remained one of the Visigothic kingdom's most productive mints, its output traceable through the CNV classification system developed by Crusafont i Sabater.
