| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of King Recaredo I in the center of the field, depicted in a highly stylized, schematic manner characteristic of Visigothic coinage. The effigy shows a frontal face with pelleted features, wearing a diademed helmet surmounted by a cross, with draped shoulders visible below. Surrounding the central bust, the retrograde or degraded Latin legend RECCAREDVS RE is distributed around the field in the angular, abstracted letterforms typical of late Visigothic die-cutting. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Recaredo I's conversion from Arianism to Nicene Christianity at the Third Council of Toledo in 589 was among the most consequential religious-political shifts in early medieval Iberia, and the coinage issued from Caesaraugusta (Zaragoza) during his reign reflects a mint operating under a dramatically reorganized ecclesiastical and administrative order. The Visigothic tremissis from this mint is struck on a relatively broad, thin flan consistent with production norms inherited from late Roman imperial practice — a continuity the Visigoths deliberately maintained to ease monetary exchange with Byzantine-influenced territories.
Pliego 70 places this type within a tightly defined group attributable to the Caesaraugusta mint on the basis of die-link analysis and fabric.
