Beschrijving voorzijde Two facing royal busts of Kings Egica and Wittiza depicted side by side within a beaded inner circle, each bust rendered in a highly schematic late antique style characteristic of Visigothic coinage. A cross potent rises between and above the two effigies, serving as the central compositional element. The busts are stylized and facing, with simplified facial features and no distinct drapery, reflecting the degenerate portrait tradition of late seventh-century Visigothic tremisses. The circular Latin legend surrounds the field, reading +INDINMNEGICAP.

Aanvullende informatie

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.
