| Obverse description | Schematized frontal bust of King Wittiza occupying the central field, rendered in the highly stylized late Visigothic manner with a broad, flat face, elongated neck, and draped shoulders indicated by curved lines. The effigy is surrounded by a beaded inner border. The circular Latin legend reading + IN D I NNE VVITTIZA RX runs around the periphery, invoking the king's name and royal title in the customary Visigothic formulaic style. |

| Reverse description | A cross potent on two steps occupies the center of the field, rendered in the characteristic schematic Visigothic style. The cross rises from a two-tiered stepped base, a common motif on late Visigothic tremisses symbolizing the Christian faith. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circular Latin legend + CESARAGUSTA PIVS running around the periphery, identifying the mint of Caesaraugusta and the epithet PIVS associated with the king. |
