| Additional information |
Obulco — modern Porcuna, in the upper Guadalquivir valley — was one of the most prolific bronze-issuing mints in pre-Roman Hispania, striking through roughly three generations of Roman consolidation in the region. The Turdetani had absorbed enough Roman administrative influence by this period to adopt a weight standard loosely tied to Roman bronze denominations, yet retained their own Iberian script on the coinage well into the series. This piece belongs to that hybrid monetary moment before full Romanization erased the distinction entirely.
ACIP 2181 falls within a relatively late phase of Obulcan output, after the city had formally become a Roman municipium in all but name.
