| Beschrijving voorzijde | Frontal facing bust of King Sisebut rendered in the highly stylized Visigothic manner, with long flowing hair indicated by parallel striated lines falling to either side of the face. The king is depicted wearing a necklace or collar ornament, with the bust shown from the front in a schematic, nearly hieratic style characteristic of late Visigothic coinage. A cross pattee appears above the bust in the upper field, flanked by pellets and angular letter-forms arranged around the circumference. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, with the surrounding Latin legend + SISEBVTVS RE distributed around the field in the retrograde or irregular arrangement typical of this mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sisebut ruled the Visigothic Kingdom from 612 to 621 and is unusual among early medieval monarchs for being a genuine literary figure — he wrote hagiographic poetry and corresponded with Isidore of Seville. His reign also saw the forced conversion of Hispano-Roman Jews, a policy so sweeping that even Isidore criticized its coercive method. Tucci, modern Martos in Andalusia, was one of the more productive provincial mints of the Visigothic tremissis series.
The CNV 220 / Pliego 279 attribution places this squarely within a well-documented emission, though Visigothic provincial output is notoriously difficult to assign by die without hands-on comparison.
