Obverse description Facing stylized royal bust rendered in the debased late antique tradition, depicted with a horizontally lined helmet or diadem and a corselet with incised decorative detail. The effigy is surrounded by multiple star-shaped ornaments distributed across the field, evoking a celestial or ceremonial iconography. A beaded inner border frames the design, with a further pearled outer border running along the coin's irregular rim. The surrounding Latin legend reads +LOVIGILDVS REX, identifying the Visigothic king Leovigild.

Reverse description Facing stylized bust of similar schematic style to the obverse, rendered with horizontal striations suggesting a helmeted or draped head, and a corselet below. The field is populated by multiple six-pointed star ornaments, with an additional circular motif at the lower portion, characteristic of Visigothic tremissis coinage from the Ispali (Seville) mint. A beaded border frames the design within an irregularly pearled rim. The surrounding Latin legend reads +CVMDLOPTNVSP, representing the mint signature of Ispali in the degraded epigraphic tradition of late Visigothic coinage.
