| 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. |

| Reverse description | Facing bust at center, closely mirroring the obverse in style, with the same schematic rendering of the royal effigy characteristic of Visigothic tremisses from the Elvora mint. The figure is shown with pendilia, draped shoulders, and a pronounced linear treatment of garments. A small cross appears within the legend field above the bust. The Latin circular legend IVS+TVS ELVORA is distributed around the central effigy within a beaded border, identifying both the mint city and the epithet 'Justus' (the Just) associated with the king's rule. |
