Comment
Five pieces known according to 2475, page 485.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Iberian and Roman influences in its design, reflecting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman expansion into the Iberian Peninsula. The coin's obverse side bears a stylized image of a warrior, likely representing a Turdetani chieftain, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a horse, which was a symbol of power and strength in ancient Iberian culture. The coin's Bronze composition and 20.0 g weight also suggest that it was a widely circulating denomination, used for everyday transactions and commerce.
