| Obverse description | Two confronting royal busts facing one another across a central scepter, rendered in the schematic late Visigothic style characteristic of the joint reign coinage. The busts are shown in profile or three-quarter view, with stylized drapery indicated by incised lines, and the scepter — symbol of royal authority — occupies the central axis between them. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design within a beaded border, reading the names and titles of both co-rulers. The execution is typical of late seventh-century Visigothic hammered gold, with bold, somewhat abstracted relief. |
