| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Sisebut in low relief, rendered in the schematic late antique style typical of Visigothic coinage, with a rounded head, rudimentary facial features, and a stylized collar or cuirass below the neck. The effigy is positioned centrally within the field. The surrounding circular legend reads + SISEBVTVS REX in retrograde or irregular Latin capitals, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Facing bust in the field, depicted frontally in the same schematic Visigothic style as the obverse, with a diademed or helmeted head and a stylized draped or armored bust below, characteristic of the period's imitation of Byzantine prototypes. The bust is centrally placed on the irregular flan. The circular legend + IMINIO IVSTVS surrounds the effigy, identifying the mint of Aeminium (modern Coimbra) and the mint master or guarantor, rendered in Latin capitals around the periphery. |
