| Obverse description | Bust of a figure in profile to the right, rendered in a crude, barbaric style characteristic of late Suebi coinage, with a stylized diadem or helmet visible at the crown. The bust is surrounded by a circular legend reading LEIOIA COTIS MVNITA, identifying the mint city of Leon (Legio) and the issuing authority. The lettering is irregular and partially degenerate, reflecting the workshop traditions of the Iberian Peninsula in the late sixth century. The field shows a flat, hammered surface typical of early medieval gold tremisses struck in imitation of Byzantine prototypes. |
