| Obverse description | Central device depicting a highly stylized royal bust or architectural motif in the form of a domed structure with vertical columns beneath, rendered in a schematic late Visigothic style characteristic of the early eighth century. The central element is surmounted by a pellet and flanked by decorative appendages, all enclosed within a beaded inner border. The surrounding field carries the royal legend in debased Latin characters. The outer rim is composed of a distinctive serrated or toothed border, a hallmark of late Visigothic tremissis coinage. The overall execution reflects the progressive abstraction of figural types typical of the final phase of Visigothic minting. |

| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a large pattée cross with a pellet at its center, rendered in bold relief characteristic of late Visigothic hammered gold coinage. Above the cross, a smaller pattée cross occupies the upper field, reinforcing the Christian devotional character of the type. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border, beyond which the mint legend runs in debased Latin letters. The outermost border consists of the same serrated toothed ring as the obverse, providing visual continuity across both faces. The composition reflects the standardized reverse type of Egitania mint issues attributed to the brief reign of Suniefred. |
