| Reverse description | A tall cross on steps (cross on a double or triple stepped base) occupies the central field, rendered in a bold, stylized manner typical of late Visigothic tremisses. The cross is flanked by elements within a beaded inner border, and the surrounding circular legend names the mint of Emerita (modern Mérida) along with the epithet PIVS. The design follows the standard Visigothic reverse type derived from Byzantine prototypes, emphasizing Christian symbolism through the prominent stepped cross motif. |
