Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Punic and Iberian design elements. The obverse (front) side of the coin depicts a stylized image of a horse, which was a common motif in Punic coinage, while the reverse (back) side features a depiction of a dolphin, which was a symbol associated with the Iberian culture. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Punic and Iberian civilizations during this time period.
