Reverse description Central field features a highly stylized facing bust, similarly abstracted in the late Visigothic tradition, with schematic drapery and a cross or scepter visible before the figure. The surrounding field is densely populated with large multi-pointed star ornaments and triangular pellet motifs arranged around the circumference, forming a decorative border. The mint signature legend +IVSTVSTVCI — a degraded form referencing the mint of Tucci (modern Martos) — encircles the design in debased Latin lettering. The overall execution is characteristic of the progressive artistic debasement seen in Visigothic provincial coinage of the early seventh century. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hammered production at a regional mint.
