| 裏面の説明 | 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. |

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.
