Interesting fact
The Æ27 coin from Sexi (Punic Iberia) features a unique blend of Phoenician and indigenous Iberian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a Phoenician-style head of a bearded man, while the reverse side features an Iberian-style horse and rider. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region, where the Phoenicians and other Mediterranean cultures interacted and traded with the indigenous Iberian peoples.
