| 表面の説明 | Diademed and draped bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, wearing a helmet or diadem with elaborate decoration and a cuirass adorned with a beaded necklace terminating in a cross pendant at the chest. The portrait is rendered in the debased Visigothic interpretation of Byzantine imperial iconography, with angular, stylized features characteristic of early medieval Germanic die-cutting. The surrounding field carries the imperial Latin legend. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the edges, typical of Visigothic hammered gold coinage. |

| 裏面の説明 | Standing frontal figure of Victory, rendered in a highly stylized and schematic manner characteristic of Visigothic coinage, holding a long staff or cross-sceptre in the right hand and a globus cruciger or palm frond in the left. The figure stands on a ground line above an exergual inscription. The drapery is indicated by incised lines, and the overall execution reflects the progressive barbarization of the Byzantine Victory type. The surrounding legend reads in Latin, and the exergue contains the mint or officina mark. |

Visigothic tremisses struck in Justinian's name occupy an awkward political position: the kingdom was nominally independent yet minted gold coinage acknowledging Byzantine imperial authority, likely to facilitate trade with eastern merchants who would only accept coin bearing a recognized emperor's name. This was not submission — it was commerce.
MEC I, 193 places this issue within the broader Visigothic imitative series, where die-cutting quality varies sharply. Some specimens show careful copying of Byzantine prototypes; others betray provincial engravers working from worn exemplars rather than fresh originals.
