| Reverse description | Central device depicting two confronted military standards or ensigns, rendered in a highly stylised manner with parallel diagonal lines suggesting crossed staffs or vexilla, a common motif on late Visigothic tremisses. Between or beneath the standards a cross or globular element is visible, and the composition is contained within a beaded or plain border. The surrounding circular legend reads INCLITI REC, an abbreviated Latin acclamation meaning 'of the illustrious king', in accordance with Visigothic royal titulature. The reverse field is flat and typical of hammered gold coinage of the Iberian peninsula in the late sixth century. |
