| Obverse description | 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. |
