| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Sisebut rendered in the highly stylized Visigothic manner, enclosed within a beaded arch or nimbus, with schematic facial features including large eyes and a broad nose. The king is shown with a draped and jewelled collar or paludamentum below the bust. The surrounding field is filled with the retrograde or irregular Latin legend disposed around the central effigy, all contained within a beaded border running along the coin's edge. |

| Additional information |
Sisebut reigned from 612 to 621 and is one of the more historically documented Visigothic kings — a literate ruler who wrote hagiography and corresponded with Isidore of Seville. His monetary output is relatively well-attested across multiple mints, but Acci, the former Roman municipium in the upper Guadalquivir basin, represents one of the more geographically peripheral of his active workshops. Tremisses from Acci under Sisebut turn up infrequently in hoards compared to Toledo or Emerita issues.
CNV 221 / Pliego 257 places this squarely within the established typology for the reign.
