Interesting fact

The Æ Half Unit coin from Uncertain Iberian mint (Punic Iberia) was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean region. The coin's design, which features a stylized image of a horse and rider, reflects the influence of Greek and Carthaginian artistic styles on Iberian coinage during this period.
