| Obverse description | Frontal facing bust of King Gundemar rendered in the late antique Visigothic style, depicted with a stylized helmet or diadem adorned with pendant earrings or lappets, the face schematically rendered with prominent features. The bust is shown draped, with crossed bands or a fibula visible on the chest, typical of Visigothic royal imagery. The legend surrounds the effigy in the field, disposed in multiple segments around the central figure. A cross pattée appears at the top of the field, above the bust. The overall execution reflects the degenerate yet characteristic style of Visigothic gold coinage of the early seventh century. |

| Reverse description | Frontal facing bust in the same schematic Visigothic style as the obverse, representing either a continuation of the royal effigy or a stylized Victory figure, draped with crossed bands visible on the chest and pendant earrings flanking the face. A cross pattée appears prominently above the bust in the upper field, flanked by pellets. The mint name of Caesaraugusta (modern Zaragoza) is rendered in abbreviated and fragmented form distributed around the central effigy in the field. The design closely mirrors the obverse in artistic treatment, consistent with Visigothic tremissis coinage of the period attributed to the Caesaraugusta mint. |
