Comment
Jenkins, Punic 176Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a lion's head on one side, which was a common motif in ancient Carthaginian coinage. The lion was a symbol of power and strength for the Carthaginians, and its inclusion on the coinage was likely meant to convey the wealth and influence of the Carthaginian Empire.
