| Obverse description | Schematic front-facing royal effigy at center, depicted in a highly stylized late Visigothic manner with a pronounced nimbus or radiate halo surrounding the head. The bust is shown with crossed hands or regalia at the chest, flanked by multiple large star or trefoil motifs arranged concentrically around the central figure. The outer border consists of a fine beaded or serrated rim. The overall design reflects the abstract, non-naturalistic artistic conventions characteristic of late Visigothic gold coinage. |
