| Beschrijving keerzijde | Facing bust of King Reccared I in the standard Visigothic tremissis style, depicted frontally with a stylized radiate nimbus of beaded lines. The royal figure wears a draped garment with a schematically rendered neckline, the bust occupying the central field. Facial features are characteristically abstract, with large eyes, a broad nose, and a simplified mouth consistent with Visigothic hammered gold coinage of the Toledan series. The bust is encircled by an inner beaded border, with the surrounding field bearing the Latin regal legend identifying the king. The reverse closely mirrors the obverse composition, a typical feature of Visigothic tremisses associating royal and mint authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Recaredo I's conversion from Arianism to Nicene Christianity in 589 — announced at the Third Council of Toledo — was one of the most consequential religious and political shifts in early medieval Iberia, effectively unifying Visigothic and Hispano-Roman populations under a single orthodoxy. This tremissis was struck at Arofre, a mint whose precise location remains debated among specialists, likely somewhere in the Meseta or the northwest.
Vives 190 is scarce in any condition. The Visigothic tremissis series as a whole suffers from poorly centered flans, and Arofre output is no exception.
