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 warrior, likely a representation of the Iberian goddess Tanit, while the reverse (back) side features a Punic inscription in the ancient Phoenician alphabet. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Punic Empire and the Iberian Peninsula during the 2nd century BC.
