| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Chintila in the center of the field, rendered in the stylized Visigothic manner with a rounded diademed head and schematic facial features visible within an arched frame. The bust is draped and shown frontally, with a triangular body below suggesting royal vestments. Surrounding the central effigy are scattered letters and cross pattée motifs interspersed among the legend. The circumferential Latin legend reads + CHINTILA RE, distributed around the field in the characteristic loose arrangement of late Visigothic coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central facing bust in the Visigothic style, mirroring the obverse composition, with a schematic diademed head set within an arched or mandorla-like frame and a triangular draped body below. The field is populated with dispersed letters and cross motifs flanking the central effigy, consistent with the workshop style of the Ispali mint. The surrounding Latin legend + ISPALI PIVS identifies the mint city of Hispalis (modern Seville) and the epithet PIVS, affirming the king's pious character. The coin displays the characteristic irregular flan and bold, somewhat crude relief typical of seventh-century Visigothic tremisses. |
