| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull strides to the right in a naturalistic rendering characteristic of Obulco's coinage, occupying the central field of the flan. A crescent symbol is placed above the bull's back, serving as a control mark or religious symbol frequently associated with this series. The reverse field is otherwise plain, with no surrounding legend or exergual inscription. The surfaces show heavy patination consistent with long circulation and burial, with the type visible through green and brown encrustation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Obulco — modern Porcuna, in the upper Guadalquivir valley — was one of the most prolific Hispanic mints of the late Republican period, producing coinage in its own Iberian script well into the first century BC. The city's output spans the Social War era through Caesar's Hispanian campaigns, and the mint likely ceased operation around the time of the Caesarian reorganization of Baetica following the Battle of Munda in 45 BC.
The half-unit denomination is the smallest of the Obulco bronze series and shows considerable die variation across the RAH 627–639 range, reflecting extended production over several decades rather than a single issue.
