| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Sisebut, depicted in a highly stylized manner characteristic of late Visigothic coinage, with a diademed and beaded headdress adorned with a small cross at the crown. The king is shown draped in a paludamentum with schematic folds, his face rendered frontally with elongated features. A circular legend surrounds the central effigy within a beaded border, reading + SISEBVTVS REX, distributed around the field in bold, slightly irregular Latin capitals. |

| Reverse description | Facing bust of a figure, likely a stylized angel or secondary royal effigy, rendered in the same abstracted Visigothic style as the obverse, with a beaded diadem and a small cross above the head. The bust is draped and shown frontally, surrounded by the mint legend + COIV : TOTARR distributed around the field in Latin capitals, interspersed with punctuation marks, within a beaded border. The reverse design reflects the Tarraco (Tarragona) mint attribution, consistent with the coin's catalogued references. |
