| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts two facing royal busts flanking a tall cross on steps, rendered in the highly stylized, schematic manner characteristic of late Visigothic coinage. The busts are shown frontally, each wearing a diadem or crown, with the cross serving as the dominant central symbol of royal and ecclesiastical authority. A circular beaded or serrated border encloses the design, with the Latin legend arranged around the periphery. The lettering, though partially degenerate in execution, references King Egica as co-ruler. The overall composition follows the established Visigothic tremissis typology derived from late Roman and Byzantine prototypes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Egica's decision to elevate his son Wittiza as co-ruler around 698–700 was a calculated dynastic move, likely meant to secure succession after the turbulent reigns that had destabilized the Visigothic throne throughout the seventh century. Joint-reign tremisses from Gerunda — modern Girona — are among the rarer mint outputs of this co-rulership, the city sitting on the northeastern edge of the Iberian kingdom near the Pyrenean passes that would, within a decade, become the entry point for the Umayyad invasion that ended Visigothic rule entirely.
