| Obverse description | Schematic frontal royal effigy occupying the central field, rendered in the debased pseudo-portrait style characteristic of late Visigothic coinage. The bust is enclosed within a mandorla-shaped outline, with stylised facial features reduced to abstract linear forms. The surrounding field is densely populated with star-shaped and triangular punched ornaments arranged in a circular pattern, filling the entire coin surface. The Latin legend + SVINTILHA RE runs around the periphery, identifying the issuing king Suintila. |
