The Ilipense As coin features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stylized horse and rider. This design is believed to represent the Turdetani people's strong equestrian culture and their skill in horse breeding and riding. The horse and rider motif was a common theme in the art and coinage of ancient Iberian cultures, and it continues to be an important symbol of Spanish culture to this day.
