| Reverse description | Central field displays a stylized frontal bust, similarly abstracted in the Visigothic tradition, flanked by cross motifs and rendered with schematic facial features typical of the Cordoba mint's die-cutting style of the early seventh century. The bust is set within a field populated by cross and pellet ornaments, continuing the decorative vocabulary of the obverse. The Latin mint and epithet legend +CORDOBA PIVS surrounds the central design, identifying the issuing mint of Cordoba and attributing the epithet Pius to the king. A beaded outer border of fine granulation encircles the reverse, consistent with hammered gold coinage of this period. |
