| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sisebut is one of the more unusual Visigothic rulers — literate enough to compose a Latin hagiographic poem on Saint Desiderius and conduct correspondence with Lombard and Byzantine courts. His reign saw the forced conversion of Iberian Jews in 616, a policy remarkable enough that Isidore of Seville criticized it as theologically premature. Tarraco, the former Roman provincial capital of Hispania Tarraconensis, retained enough administrative weight under Visigothic rule to operate its own mint, though output was modest.
Pliego 255 places this among the attributed Tarraco emissions distinguished from the Toledo and Ispali series by subtle die characteristics.
