| Reverse description | An African elephant rendered in profile walking to the right, depicted with trunk raised slightly and tusks visible. The animal is portrayed with considerable naturalistic detail, including wrinkled hide and large ears characteristic of the African species. The design occupies most of the reverse field, with a plain or lightly textured ground line beneath. A beaded border runs along the upper periphery of the flan. The elephant motif directly references the Carthaginian military use of war elephants during the Barcid campaigns in Iberia. |
