| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three bound grain ears rising from a common stalk, depicted in full relief with carefully engraved heads and leaves; the arrangement is symmetrical with the central ear slightly taller than the flanking two. A Punic letter Resh (resembling an inverted triangle or angular symbol) appears in the upper left field, and a crescent symbol is visible in the upper right field. The design emphasizes Sardinia's agricultural significance as a grain-producing territory under Punic administration. |

These bronzes were struck in the chaotic interval following Carthage's defeat in the First Punic War, when Carthaginian mercenaries — unpaid and furious — launched the Truceless War against their former employers. Sardinia's Punic mints continued operating under increasingly unstable conditions, and when the mercenary garrison on the island mutinied and expelled the Carthaginian administration outright, Rome seized the opportunity. By 238 BC, Rome simply annexed Sardinia, citing the unrest as justification — a move Carthage regarded as a treaty violation and never forgot.
