Beschrijving keerzijde 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.

Aanvullende informatie

Leovigild's monetary program was one of the most deliberate acts of political consolidation in post-Roman Iberia. Prior Visigothic tremisses had slavishly imitated late Roman and Byzantine prototypes — a tacit admission of dependence on imperial legitimacy. Leovigild broke from that practice, issuing coinage in his own name and titulature, a claim to independent sovereignty backed by his military campaigns that effectively unified most of the peninsula under Visigothic rule by the 580s.

The Porto mint attribution for CNV#44 / Pliego#60 places production in the northwest, a region Leovigild wrested from the Suebi kingdom in 585.
