| Obverse description | Wreathed head of the goddess Tanit facing left, rendered in fine Punic style with elaborate curled hair bound by a grain wreath; the neck is draped, and the portrait displays the idealized classical influence typical of Carthaginian bronzes of this period. The effigy is set within a plain circular field with no legend or inscription. |
