Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm (Uncertain Punic) coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Carthaginian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of the Carthaginian goddess Tanit, while the reverse side features a traditional Greek motif of a quadriga (a chariot pulled by four horses) surrounded by Greek inscriptions. This fusion of cultural elements reflects the complex history of the Carthaginian Empire, which was heavily influenced by both Greek and Phoenician cultures.
