| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Sisebut rendered in the schematic Visigothic style, depicted with a beaded or jewelled crown and draped shoulders, holding a cross-tipped sceptre before the chest. The figure is portrayed frontally in a highly stylised manner characteristic of late antique Visigothic coinage. The surrounding circular legend reads +SISEBVTVS REX, separated by a cross pattée at the top of the field. The lettering is deeply struck in large, somewhat irregular characters distributed around the entire circumference of the coin. |

| Reverse description | Facing bust in the same schematic Visigothic style as the obverse, representing a stylised royal or ecclesiastical figure with beaded drapery and a cross above, holding what appears to be a cross-tipped sceptre or staff before the chest. The design closely mirrors the obverse portrait type, consistent with standard Visigothic tremissis iconography. The surrounding legend, referencing the mint city of Caesaraugusta (modern Zaragoza), is distributed around the circumference in large, irregular Latin letters. A cross pattée appears at the top of the field as a divider for the legend. |
