| Obverse description | Facing bust of King Gundemaro depicted in the late Visigothic stylized manner, shown front-facing with an elaborate diademed crown surmounted by a cross, wearing a beaded collar and draped garments rendered in schematic horizontal lines. The effigy is surrounded by highly stylized letter forms constituting the royal legend, arranged around the bust within a beaded border. The overall treatment is characteristic of the debased pseudo-imperial style typical of Visigothic gold coinage of the early seventh century, with the royal portrait reduced to a near-abstract representation. |

| Reverse description | Facing bust in the same stylized Visigothic manner as the obverse, depicting a frontal effigy with a diademed crown topped by a cross, wearing a beaded collar and schematically rendered drapery. The surrounding Latin legend names the mint of issue, distributed around the central figure within a beaded border. The execution follows the standard pseudo-imperial formula of Visigothic tremisses struck at Mérida, with the mint name MANDOLA serving as the principal identifying feature of the reverse type. |
