| Obverse description | Two facing busts of the co-rulers Egica and Wittiza depicted in the characteristic late Visigothic schematic style, separated by a tall cross potent or staff between them. Both effigies are rendered in a highly stylised, nearly abstract manner typical of late seventh-century Visigothic coinage, with simplified facial features and broad shoulders. A pellet or globus is visible between or above the busts. The surrounding field is occupied by the Latin legend reading + I · D · N · N EGICA RX, with letters arranged around the circumference of the flan. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded or toothed border consistent with the Toledo mint's output during this period. |
