Reverse description Forepart of a pegasus striding to the right, with the winged horse's head, neck, forelegs, and folded wings rendered in a schematic but recognizable Iberian style. An Iberian legend in Levantine semi-syllabic script appears beneath the figure, identifying the issuing community of Auseskens. The design occupies most of the flan, with the truncation of the pegasus at the mid-body typical of quarter-unit denominations. The die work is characteristic of Iberian bronze coinage of the second century BC, showing influence from Greek numismatic prototypes.
