| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized facing bust of King Wittiza occupying the central field, rendered in a schematic late Visigothic manner with a cross-shaped torque or pectoral ornament at the neck. The bust is surrounded by a dense arrangement of pellets and star-like pointed ornaments filling the inner field, enclosed within a wreath or beaded inner border. The circular Latin legend + VVITTIZA RX runs around the periphery, identifying the issuing monarch. The overall composition reflects the increasingly abstract and non-naturalistic coin art characteristic of the final phase of Visigothic coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field dominated by a large equal-armed cross of Maltese or potent form, rendered in bold relief in the characteristic schematic style of late Visigothic coinage. The cross is flanked and surrounded by a profusion of pointed star-shaped pellets and angular ornaments filling the field. A wreath border or beaded inner ring encloses the central design. The circular Latin legend + MENTESA PIV runs around the outer periphery, citing the mint of Mentesa along with the epithet PIV (Pius), a standard pious acclamation on Visigothic tremisses. |
