背面描述	A cornucopiae (horn of plenty) rendered upright in the central field, abundantly filled with fruits and foliage, serving as the principal symbol of civic prosperity and divine bounty. The composition is typical of Hellenistic Phoenician civic bronzes, where the cornucopiae functions as an emblem of Tyche's beneficence. Traces of a Phoenician or Greek inscription may appear in the field or along the periphery, largely illegible due to wear. The die work is characteristic of the regional hammered bronze tradition of the 2nd century BC.

附加信息	Karne — identified with modern Khirbet Qarn on the Lebanese coast — was a minor Phoenician settlement whose civic coinage output was extremely limited, placing this bronze among the rarer municipal issues of the post-Seleucid transition period. The dating bracket corresponds to decades of shifting suzerainty as Seleucid authority fragmented following Antiochus IV's death in 164 BC, during which smaller coastal towns briefly asserted enough autonomy to strike their own bronze. Lindgren I#2292 is sparsely attested in major collections.
