| Obverse description | Schematic facing bust of the king rendered in the debased Late Antique style typical of Visigothic coinage, with a beaded diadem or crown indicated above the head. The facial features are crudely stylized, with pellets suggesting eyes and a simplified nose and mouth. The bust is shown frontally within the coin field, surrounded by the royal legend. The overall execution reflects the provincial workshop tradition of the late sixth century. |

| Reverse description | Schematic facing bust of Victory or a secondary royal effigy, rendered in the same debased provincial style as the obverse, with a cross or staff visible below the neck, consistent with Visigothic tremissis iconography derived from Late Roman prototypes. The bust is frontally positioned within the field, with stylized drapery suggested at the shoulders. A beaded inner border frames the design. The mint legend surrounds the bust, identifying the issuing city of Portucale. |
