Tremissis - Egica and Wittiza Toleto

Egica elevated his son Wittiza to co-ruler around 694, a dynastic arrangement intended to secure succession — a perennial vulnerability in Visigothic politics, where kingship was elective in theory and frequently contested in blood. Joint-reign coinage from Toledo is the most securely attributable of the series, the mint city being the Visigothic capital and its output better documented than provincial strikes. This issue falls within the final decade of the kingdom itself; within roughly a decade of the last coins bearing these two names, the Umayyad invasion of 711 had effectively erased Visigothic royal authority entirely.
