| Reversbeschreibung | Schematic facing bust, closely paralleling the obverse effigy in style, with beaded drapery rendered in a highly stylized manner typical of Visigothic gold coinage of the late sixth century. The bust is set within a circular legend reading + ΛMIΛ~IOIVTVI, referencing the mint of Amaya (Amasio), the letters distributed around the field in debased semi-uncial forms. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Leovigild's monetary reform of the late sixth century was one of the most deliberate acts of political currency manipulation in post-Roman Europe. He systematically debased and then restruck coinage to assert independent Visigothic authority, breaking from the convention of striking tremisses in the name of the reigning Byzantine emperor — a practice his predecessors had maintained as a form of nominal deference to Constantinople. This particular emission, attributed to the Amasio mint, dates to the years of his campaign against his own son Hermenegild, who had converted to Catholicism and led a revolt backed by Byzantine support.
Amasio has been tentatively identified with modern Amaya in Castile. The localization remains contested.
