When Reccesvinth became joint ruler with his father Chindasvinth, in order to include both names on the coins by placing Reccesvinth on the reverse, there was not enough room for the mint. Instead of including the mint name in the legend, a monogram for the mint name was placed in the centre of the coins. For the joint rule of Reccesvinth and Chindasvinth, only a hand full of coins are known with the monograms representing for the mint of Toleto 10, Ispal 7 and Emerita 4 and one monogram for which Veseo has been suggested.
