| Reverse description | Two bunches of grapes depicted side by side in the central field, rendered in a stylised manner with individual berries suggested by raised pellets or granulation. A Punic or neo-Punic letter or symbol appears in the lower field. The grape motif is a characteristic emblem of Lixus, reflecting the city's association with viticulture and its legendary identification with the Garden of the Hesperides. The field is otherwise plain. |
