Reverse description The reverse displays a cross potent or pattée at the center of the field, rendered in the bold, angular style characteristic of late Visigothic workshop production. The mint name and epithet are presented in the surrounding legend reading + GERVNΘA PIVS, identifying the mint of Gerunda (modern Girona) and the royal epithet PIVS. The field is filled with schematic lettering and decorative elements arranged around the central cross motif. The design is enclosed within a beaded or serrated border following the coin's irregular flan. The overall style reflects the abstracted, semi-barbaric treatment of late Visigothic numismatic art in the final decades of the kingdom.
