Beschrijving voorzijde Central field occupied by a stylized facing bust of the two co-rulers rendered in the highly schematic late Visigothic manner, with a prominent cross potent rising from the center of the design. The bust is flanked by rudimentary drapery elements, characteristic of the degenerate portrait style of seventh-century Iberian tremisses. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading IDINM EGICA PX RECS, with letters executed in the angular, compressed script typical of the Mentesa mint. The overall design reflects the late Visigothic artistic tradition, in which figural representation has been largely supplanted by abstract linear forms.

Beschrijving keerzijde Central field dominated by a long cross with splayed terminals, characteristic of the late Visigothic tremissis coinage, rising from a base and flanked by decorative star or pellet ornaments in the field. The cross design reflects the strong religious iconography of the Visigothic Christian monarchy. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central motif, reading VVITTIZA PX REGES, identifying the co-ruler Wittiza alongside the royal title, with the lettering in the angular and compressed style associated with the Mentesa mint workshop. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, consistent with hammered coinage of this period.
