| Obverse description | Schematized frontal royal effigy of King Sisebut, rendered in the debased late antique style characteristic of Visigothic coinage. The bust is depicted facing, with a stylized diademed or laureate head featuring pellet eyes and rudimentary facial features. The body is shown frontally with crossed bands or a torque across the chest, flanked by pellets on either side. The surrounding field is densely populated with star-shaped or trefoil ornaments arranged concentrically, filling the entire flan. The legend + SISEBVTVS RE runs around the periphery, bordered by a beaded inner circle and a toothed outer rim. |

| Reverse description | Schematized frontal bust in the same highly stylized Visigothic manner, representing the mint city of Laure (Laurus). The effigy is rendered facing, with pellet eyes and a simplified triangular body adorned with cross-hatched or latticed decoration, flanked by pellets. The field is filled with star-shaped and trefoil ornamental devices arranged in a radial pattern, consistent with Visigothic workshop convention. The reverse legend + LAVRE PIVS encircles the design, identifying both the mint and the pious epithet. A toothed or serrated border frames the entire composition. |
