| Beschrijving voorzijde | Horse's head facing right, rendered in a bold and somewhat schematic Punic style characteristic of Sicilian bronzes of the period. The mane is indicated by a series of incised lines along the neck, and the eye and muzzle are summarily but expressively modeled in relief. The field is plain and unlettered, with no legend or exergual inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Siculo-Punic bronze issues of this period remain among the most frustrating attribution problems in ancient numismatics. The Carthaginian presence in western Sicily — consolidated after Himera in 409 BC and the sack of Akragas in 406 BC — produced a cluster of mints whose precise locations are still debated, with Panormos, Solus, and several unnamed field mints all proposed as candidates for issues of this type.
These bronzes were almost certainly struck to pay mercenary troops rather than for civic commerce.
