Reverse description Central field displays a bold cross potent or cross with splayed arms, flanked by letters forming a monogram or abbreviated royal name, all within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend +IN DE NPIL VVITTIZA records the name of the co-ruler Wittiza in debased Latin. The irregular flan and coarse execution are consistent with provincial Visigothic hammered gold coinage of the Emerita mint. A dentilated border frames the design on the outer edge. The reverse composition mirrors the schematic, non-figural style of the obverse.
