| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Leovigild in a highly stylized, schematic manner characteristic of Visigothic coinage, depicting the monarch with a beaded crown surmounted by a cross, large frontal eyes rendered in low relief, and a segmented necklace or collar below the chin. The bust occupies the central field and is surrounded by a legend reading +LEOVIGILDVSREX distributed around the periphery. The overall artistic treatment reflects the late antique tradition adapted into the Visigothic idiom, with flat, linear modeling of facial features. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, as is typical of hammered gold coinage of this period. |
