| Reverse description | Central field filled with a dense, highly stylized arrangement of stellate and cross-like ornaments in a characteristic late Visigothic decorative style, creating an intricate overall pattern of star-shaped devices in low hammered relief. The design is typical of the degenerate artistic tradition of the Toledo mint during the joint reign of Egica and Wittiza, where figural or architectural motifs have been reduced to near-abstract geometric forms. The circumferential legend reads + VVITTIZA RX, identifying the co-ruler Wittiza, with the mint name TOLETO appearing in the lower field or as a secondary legend. A border of pointed serrated or dentilated pellets frames the entire design at the periphery. |
