| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of King Recaredo I rendered in the highly stylized Visigothic manner, with schematic facial features and radiate or diademed head. The effigy is surrounded by a border of pellets or a beaded inner circle, with letters of the royal legend distributed around the periphery in a characteristically degenerate late antique style. A cross or cruciform element appears above the bust, reflecting the king's Catholic faith following his conversion in 589. The overall design derives from late Roman and Byzantine prototypes but exhibits the distinctive abstracted treatment typical of Visigothic gold coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central facing bust or cross motif rendered in the schematic Visigothic style, surrounded by the mint and epithet legend distributed around the field. The design reflects the influence of late Roman tremissis types adapted by Visigothic die-cutters, with a strongly stylized treatment of the central device. The legend identifies the mint of Contempo (Conimbriga or a related Iberian mint) and the royal epithet PIVS, affirming the king's pious Christian character. A beaded or linear border frames the composition at the periphery. The reverse maintains the characteristic flat, abstract relief of Visigothic hammered gold coinage of the late sixth century. |
