Obverse description Facing bust of King Leovigild rendered in a schematic, late antique style characteristic of Visigothic coinage, depicting the ruler with a diademed or helmeted head adorned with pendilia, and a draped and cuirassed torso visible below. The king holds regalia — a globus or orb — at center, with linear engraving suggesting a paludamentum or military cloak. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads + LEOVICILDVS RE, with a cross pattée at the top of the legend, serving as an initial mark. The portrait, though stylized and lacking classical naturalism, follows the iconographic tradition inherited from late Roman imperial coinage.
