| Obverse description | Schematized front-facing royal effigy set within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the highly stylized late Visigothic manner characteristic of seventh-century Iberian coinage. The bust displays a broad, flat face with simplified facial features and a prominent neck, surmounted by a cross pattée above the head. The surrounding field is filled with the fragmentary Latin legend divided by pellet groupings. The overall execution reflects the degenerate yet distinctive die-cutting style of the Córdoba mint under Chindasuinth. |

| Reverse description | Schematized front-facing bust within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the same highly stylized Visigothic idiom as the obverse, with simplified facial features and a cross pattée above. The field surrounding the central effigy carries the mint and epithet legend in degraded Latin capitals. The broad, flat flan exhibits the characteristic irregular fabric of hammered Visigothic gold tremisses, with a serrated border visible along the coin's periphery. |
