| Obverse description | Schematized frontal royal bust of King Gundemar rendered in the debased late antique Visigothic style, with a highly stylized face featuring elongated features and a pronounced beaded diadem or crown visible above the head. The figure is shown with crossed scepters or torques beneath the chin, flanked by angular, abstracted decorative elements suggesting drapery or regalia. The surrounding field is occupied by the retrograde or irregular Latin legend. The overall design reflects the characteristic degeneration of Byzantine iconographic models as adopted by Visigothic moneyers. |

| Reverse description | Schematized frontal bust, closely paralleling the obverse type in the characteristic Visigothic manner, with a stylized face rendered in low relief and flanked by angular, abstracted decorative motifs. Crossed scepters or torques appear below the bust, continuing the iconographic program derived from late Byzantine solidus prototypes. The Latin legend naming the mint of Iliberi (Eliberri) encircles the central device. The execution is typical of the Iliberi mint under Gundemar, displaying the highly conventionalized engraving style common to early seventh-century Visigothic tremisses. |
