| Additional information |
Acinipo, perched on a mesa above the Ronda valley in what is now Andalusia, was one of the few Turdetani cities to strike its own bronze coinage under Roman provincial tolerance — a privilege not extended uniformly across Hispania Ulterior. The city's issues cluster in the late Republican period, likely reflecting local commercial need rather than any formal grant of minting rights, and ceased entirely before Augustus reorganized the western provinces.
ACIP 2451 is among the later attributions in the Acinipo sequence, distinguished from earlier city bronzes by subtle epigraphic shifts in the Iberian script rendering of the city name.
