| Obverse description | Schematized front-facing royal bust of King Suinthila at center, depicted in the late Visigothic stylized manner with a diademed or crowned head and draped shoulders rendered in low relief. The bust is surrounded by a border of pellets or beaded inner circle, with multiple star or lozenge ornaments dispersed throughout the field. A cross pattée appears at the top of the coin above the effigy, emphasizing the Christian royal iconography. The overall design reflects the highly abstract and decorative die-cutting style characteristic of Visigothic tremisses from the early seventh century. |
