| Obverse description | Facing bust of the mint official Arofre rendered in the late antique Visigothic style, depicted frontally with a stylized radiate nimbus composed of beaded lines emanating from the crown of the head. The figure wears a draped garment with a decorated neckline, rendered in low relief with schematic linear detailing. The facial features are summarily rendered with large almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose, and a straight mouth. The bust is set within an inner beaded border, with the surrounding field occupied by the partially legible Latin legend referencing the mint official. The overall execution reflects the characteristic abstract artistry of Visigothic tremissis coinage. |
