Obverse lettering + SISENANDVS REX
Reverse description Schematic frontal bust occupying the central field, rendered in the highly stylised, near-abstract manner typical of late Visigothic tremisses, with a domed head, facial features reduced to pellets and incised lines, and a broad, flat torso. Flanking elements in the field further emphasise the symmetrical, hieratic composition. The circumferential Latin legend reads + EGITANIA PIVS, identifying the mint of Egitania and the epithet Pius customarily applied to Visigothic rulers on reverse dies.
