| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse standing or prancing to the left, depicted with raised forelegs in a lively pose, occupying the central field. Above and to the upper right, a partial palm branch or frond is visible, a common secondary symbol on Punic coinage of this period. The horse, a potent emblem of Carthaginian military and civic identity, is rendered in a naturalistic style influenced by Hellenistic die-cutting conventions. No legend is present; the field is otherwise plain. The flan surface shows natural patination with areas of green encrustation consistent with extended burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carthaginian bronze coinage of this period was struck primarily to pay mercenary forces — Libyan, Iberian, and Celtic troops who had no use for Punic electrum and demanded fungible small change. The timing places this piece squarely within Carthage's expanding military commitments in Sicily, where decades of grinding conflict with Syracuse consumed enormous resources in metal and men.
SNG Copenhagen 107 is among the smaller module bronzes of the series, consistent with fractional use in a military pay context rather than civic commerce.
