| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Recaredo I at center, rendered in the stylized late antique manner characteristic of Visigothic coinage, with elongated neck, schematic facial features, and pendilia flanking the head. The king is depicted wearing a diademed crown and imperial-style drapery, with details rendered in bold, angular relief. A circular beaded border frames the design. The surrounding field is occupied by the retrograde or irregularly spaced Latin legend reading +RECCAREDVS REX, distributed around the bust. |
