| Reverse description | Central field divided by three horizontal lines, with a Latin inscription above and a Libyan-Phoenician inscription below, together framing the bilingual civic identity of the issuing authority. A falcata, the characteristic curved Iberian sword, is depicted above the horizontal line arrangement, serving as a prominent martial symbol. Below the inscriptions appears a round shield with a central pellet boss, reinforcing the military iconography typical of Iberian civic bronzes. The combination of Latin and Libero-Phoenician legends reflects the multicultural administrative context of the mint in the 2nd century BC. |

| Additional information |
Turri Regina was a minor Iberian settlement whose coinage remains poorly understood — the mint location itself is debated, with proposed identifications scattered across the northeastern Iberian coast. Issues attributed to this authority are rare enough that die studies remain incomplete, and the ACIP and CNH references represent the foundational cataloguing work rather than settled scholarship.
