| Reverse description | Triskeles motif composed of three human legs radiating from a central facing head or gorgoneion, a symbol widely associated with Sicilian and Ibero-Roman civic coinage of the period. The three bent legs are arranged symmetrically around the central face, which is depicted frontally with schematic features. The legend FLORENTIA arcs around the design in the field. The overall composition is boldly struck on a broad, irregular bronze flan. |

| Additional information |
Ilturir was an Iberian city whose precise location remains unresolved — candidates include sites in the middle Ebro valley, though no consensus exists. The coinage was struck under Roman provincial oversight during the period of consolidation following the Second Punic War, when Rome systematically permitted Iberian communities to issue bronze for local circulation while maintaining tight control over silver. The 2-unit denomination is the heaviest in the Ilturir series, and surviving specimens are notably scarce relative to the single-unit issues.
CNH#1 status indicates this as the primary reference type for the series.
