| Aversbeschreibung | Facing bust of two rulers conjoined, depicted in a highly schematic and stylized late antique manner characteristic of Visigothic coinage, with both figures shown frontally and wearing crowns or diadems. The busts are rendered in low relief with simplified drapery indicated by parallel vertical lines below the necks. A border of pointed star-like pellets or stellate ornaments encircles the central device, forming a decorative inner ring. The circumferential legend reads + I · D · N · N EGICA RX, invoking the royal title of King Egica. The overall execution reflects the degenerate late Visigothic style typical of the Toledo mint in the late seventh and early eighth centuries. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Egica elevated his son Wittiza to co-ruler around 694, a dynastic maneuver designed to secure succession and sidestep the elective traditions of the Visigothic nobility. Joint-reign coinage from this association is relatively scarce by mint, and the Toledo issues carry particular weight given that city's role as the ecclesiastical and administrative capital of the kingdom. This mint's output was closely tied to royal legitimacy — Toledo coinage was prestige production, not workhorse circulation.
Within roughly a decade of these strikes, the Umayyad invasion of 711 ended Visigothic rule entirely. Much of the royal treasury was dispersed or melted; survival of intact gold from this reign is accordingly limited.
