| Reverse description | The reverse bears the Latin inscription SIRPENS — the Latinised form of the city name Serpa — contained between two horizontal incuse lines that divide the field into registers, a layout characteristic of early Iberian municipal bronze coinage. The lettering is rendered in an archaic Latin script and is somewhat coarsely executed, consistent with local workshop production. The flan edges are rough and uneven, reflecting the primitive striking technique employed. No additional devices or symbols appear in the field. |
