The Bronze coin from Searo (Turdetani people) has a unique design on its reverse side, featuring a stylized horse and rider, which is a common motif in ancient Iberian art. This design element suggests that the coin may have been used for religious or ceremonial purposes, as horses were considered sacred animals in many ancient cultures. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of Bronze, a durable and long-lasting metal, further supports the idea that it was meant to be a symbol of value and importance in the Turdetani society.
