| Reverse description | A tuna fish depicted in profile facing left, rendered in a schematic but recognisable manner characteristic of Abderan coinage, reflecting the city's close association with the tunny-fishing industry. Above the fish, a row of pellets or a dotted border forms a ground line or decorative register along the upper field. A Neo-Punic inscription appears in the lower field or exergue, giving the toponym of the mint city. The overall composition is typical of the Punic-inspired municipal bronzes of southern Hispania. |
