Above the animal, a fish — a common motif on Abderan coinage referencing the city's maritime and fishing economy — is shown horizontally. The Neo-Punic legend naming the city appears in the field. The overall composition is enclosed within the flan with no formal border.

Aanvullende informatie	Abdera on the southeastern Iberian coast was a Phoenician foundation — its name deriving from the Semitic 'Abd-'Ashtart — that retained its Punic cultural identity well into the Roman provincial period. These small bronzes were struck during a stretch when the town had ceased to matter much militarily but still needed a local fractional currency for everyday exchange. The ACIP and CNH references place this piece within a series that numismatists have long used to trace the persistence of Punic civic identity in Hispania long after Carthage itself had ceased to exist.
