| Obverse description | Stylized frontal bust of King Sisebut occupying the central field, rendered in the characteristic schematic Visigothic manner with a beaded or jewelled crown surmounted by a small cross. The facial features are depicted in a hieratic, abstract style typical of late antique Iberian coinage. The bust is shown with draped shoulders, and the effigy is surrounded by the circular royal legend. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | Stylized frontal bust in the central field, closely mirroring the obverse effigy in the schematic Visigothic artistic tradition, with a cross motif visible above the head. The figure is rendered with the same hieratic, abstracted facial treatment characteristic of the Cordoba mint output under Sisebut. The mint name and royal epithet PIVS are distributed around the bust within the circular legend field, with a beaded border encircling the entire reverse. |
