| Beschrijving voorzijde | Wreathed head of the goddess Tanit facing left, depicted in three-quarter relief with finely modelled facial features characteristic of Punic artistic tradition. The hair is bound beneath a grain wreath, with loose locks falling at the neck. The portrait is rendered in a Hellenistic style influenced by Sicilian coinage, with a graceful, idealized profile. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sardinia passed into Carthaginian hands following the First Punic War, then was seized by Rome in 238 BC during a moment of Carthaginian weakness — a land-grab so nakedly opportunistic that it remained a Carthaginian grievance for decades. These bronzes were struck during the interval between Hannibal's crossing of the Alps and Rome's consolidation of the island, a period when Punic administrative structures on Sardinia were collapsing but had not yet vanished. The SNG Copenhagen specimen anchors the type's attribution, though the precise mint site on the island remains debated among specialists.
