| Additional information |
Egica elevated his son Wittiza to co-ruler around 698, making their joint coinage one of the last expressions of Visigothic royal authority before the Umayyad invasion of 711 effectively ended the kingdom. The Córdoba mint — operating under the Latin form Corduba — was among the more prolific provincial workshops of the late Visigothic period, though output dropped sharply as the reign of Egica alone gave way to the co-regency issues.
Pliego's catalog distinguishes this type carefully from the solo Egica Córdoba strikes; die alignment and execution on joint-reign tremisses from this mint tend toward the irregular, reflecting the declining technical standards of Visigothic gold production in its final decade.
