Interesting fact

The Hemidrachm coin from Ebusus (Punic Iberia) was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between the Phoenicians and the indigenous peoples of the Iberian Peninsula. The coin's design features a unique blend of Phoenician and Iberian elements, reflecting the cultural fusion that characterized this period in history.
