| Reverse description | Facing bust at center, similarly rendered in schematic Visigothic style with a cross motif incorporated into or above the bust, echoing the obverse composition typical of tremisses struck at Mentesa. The surrounding legend + PIVS MENTESA identifies both the royal epithet 'Pius' and the mint city of Mentesa (modern La Guardia, Jaén, Spain). Irregular Latin letterforms are distributed around the beaded border, characteristic of the localized die-engraving workshops of the Visigothic period. The reverse design closely mirrors the obverse, a hallmark of Visigothic tremissis coinage. |
