| Beschrijving keerzijde | Frontal bust of a schematic ecclesiastical or royal figure rendered in the highly stylised, abstract manner typical of Visigothic tremisses from the Bracara (Braga) mint. The effigy is enclosed within a mandorla-shaped frame and displays pendilia or pendant ornaments at the sides of the head, suggesting regal or episcopal adornment. As on the obverse, the surrounding field is filled with densely packed star-shaped and triangular punched decorative elements. The Latin legend + PIVS BRACARA encircles the design, with PIVS serving as a royal epithet and BRACARA identifying the mint city. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Suinthila ruled as the first Visigothic king to control the entire Iberian Peninsula, having expelled the last Byzantine garrisons from the southeast around 624 — an achievement his contemporary biographer Isidore of Seville considered worthy of special praise. Bracara Augusta, modern Braga, was one of the kingdom's most productive tremissis mints, its output reflecting the city's continued administrative weight long after the Suevic kingdom it once anchored had been absorbed.
CNV 304 and Pliego 409 are in close agreement on this type, a relative rarity among the often tangled attribution history of Visigothic gold.
