Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Phoenician and 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 fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the period of Carthaginian rule in Iberia.
