| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a stylized stepped cross or cross on steps motif, a standard device on Visigothic tremisses of the Toledo mint, rendered in bold relief with flanking letters filling the surrounding field. The design is characteristically schematic, with the cross serving as a prominent Christian symbol of royal legitimacy. A circular Latin legend reads + TOLETO PIVS, identifying both the mint city of Toledo and attributing the epithet 'Pius' to the king, a conventional pious formula on late Visigothic coinage. The irregular hammered flan displays the typical broad, thin fabric of Visigothic gold tremisses, with the legend partially weak at the margins due to the striking method. The reverse composition reflects the formulaic but theologically significant iconography employed at the Toledo mint during the reign of Egica. |
