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 god of war, 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 and Iberian civilizations during this time period.
