| Reverse description | A dolphin swimming to the right is depicted above a tuna fish facing left, both rendered in a schematic Punic style characteristic of Iberian coastal mint issues. The Neo-Punic legend 𐤏𐤁𐤃𐤓𐤕 (ʿBDRT, referring to Abdera) appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The marine motifs reflect the town's prominent fishing and fish-processing economy. The reverse flan is irregular, consistent with hand-struck production. |
