| Obverse description | Facing bust of the king in low relief at center, rendered in the debased late antique style characteristic of Visigothic coinage, with stylized facial features and radiating hair or crown elements. The bust is surrounded by a circular legend reading ✠RECCESVNTVS R, with letters arranged around the periphery in a somewhat irregular manner. A beaded or toothed border frames the entire design. The execution is crude yet distinctive, reflecting the artistic conventions of seventh-century Iberian Germanic monetary production. |
