| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse standing to the right in a composed, static pose, rendered in the compact style typical of Carthaginian fractional silver coinage. The animal is depicted with musculature carefully articulated, the head slightly turned, the tail falling naturally behind the haunches. A palm tree appears to the right of the horse, a symbol closely associated with Carthage and the Punic world. The ground line beneath the horse is faintly indicated. The field is otherwise plain and uninscribed. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck during the Second Punic War, this fractional silver issue falls squarely within the period of Hannibal's Italian campaign — a conflict that stretched Carthaginian military financing to its limits and drove substantial coin production to pay mercenary forces operating far from North Africa. Small silver fractions like this one were essential for day-to-day troop payments, where full shekels were too valuable for minor transactions.
SNG Copenhagen 369 places this piece within a well-documented Carthaginian series, though attribution of specific mint sites remains contested between Carthage proper and Spanish or Sicilian field mints.
