| Obverse description | Two facing busts in the field, each depicted in a schematic, highly stylized manner characteristic of late Visigothic coinage. A tall cross on steps or a long cross rises between the two royal effigies, emphasizing the joint reign of Egica and Wittiza. The busts wear crowns or diadems rendered in a conventionalized fashion, with pellets and geometric ornaments suggesting royal regalia. A circular legend in debased Latin runs around the periphery, bordered by a beaded or toothed inner circle. The overall style reflects the late antique artistic tradition filtered through Visigothic workshop practices. |
