| Reverse description | Facing bust in the same schematic Visigothic style as the obverse, representing a stylized effigy with beaded or radiate crown and draped shoulders rendered in a flat, linear manner. The bust is centrally placed on the irregular flan, with the facial features depicted in a highly conventionalized fashion derived from debased Byzantine prototypes. The mint name RODΛS (Rosas, in modern Catalonia) and the epithet IVSTVS appear distributed around the bust as the reverse legend. The granulated or serrated border typical of Visigothic tremisses frames the design. |
