| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field dominated by a large royal or mint monogram composed of interlaced letters, characteristic of late Visigothic numismatic practice, rendered in a bold and angular style. The monogram is surrounded by additional letterforms distributed across the field, creating a dense epigraphic composition. A circumferential Latin legend encircles the design, identifying the co-ruler Wittiza and the mint city of Cordoba. Three pellets arranged horizontally appear in the lower central field, a common decorative feature on Visigothic tremisses. The execution is characteristic of the Córdoba mint workshop active during the joint reign of Egica and Wittiza. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Egica elevated his son Wittiza to co-ruler in 694, making this a joint-reign issue — a Visigothic succession strategy designed to prevent the factional violence that had destabilized the kingdom through much of the seventh century. Córdoba was one of the southern mints active under Visigothic administration, a city that would fall to the Umayyad invasion within a decade of this coin's production.
Wittiza would go on to reign alone after Egica's death around 702, and the subsequent dynastic dispute with Roderic is widely cited as a contributing factor to the collapse of Visigothic resistance in 711.
