| Reverse description | Facing bust of the mint master Iustus, rendered in the same highly conventionalized Visigothic style as the obverse, enclosed within a beaded arch. The schematic effigy displays characteristic flat, almost abstract facial treatment typical of late Visigothic coinage. The Latin legend naming the mint of Acci (modern Guadix, in the province of Granada) is distributed around the central bust in the field, the whole enclosed by a beaded outer border. |

| Additional information |
Sisebut reigned from 612 to 621 and is one of the more historically documented Visigothic kings — a literate ruler who wrote hagiography and corresponded with Isidore of Seville. His monetary output is relatively well-attested across multiple mints, but Acci, the former Roman municipium in the upper Guadalquivir basin, represents one of the more geographically peripheral of his active workshops. Tremisses from Acci under Sisebut turn up infrequently in hoards compared to Toledo or Emerita issues.
CNV 221 / Pliego 257 places this squarely within the established typology for the reign.
