| Beschrijving voorzijde | A date palm rendered in relief at the center of the field, its fronds spreading broadly to either side in a symmetrical fan-like arrangement. Two clusters of dates hang pendantly from the base of the crown on each side of the trunk, rendered with careful granular detail. The trunk tapers slightly toward its base, lending the design a naturalistic quality characteristic of Punic coinage of this period. No legend or inscription appears in the field. The whole is set within a shallow incuse border. |

Carthage struck bronze coinage relatively late compared to its Sicilian neighbors, only developing a municipal bronze series after prolonged exposure to Greek monetary practice during the Sicilian Wars of the late fifth and early fourth centuries. These issues served the internal economy of North Africa and Carthaginian Sicily at a moment when the city was expanding its western Mediterranean dominance under the Magonid and early Barcid-era suffetes.
The SNG Copenhagen specimen attributed to this type came from the collection assembled largely in the nineteenth century, when Tunisian site finds were reaching European dealers in quantity following French colonial activity around ancient Carthage.
