| Reverse description | Pegasus or equine figure in right-facing gallop occupies the central field, rendered in a schematic provincial style with legs extended in full stride. Below the figure, the Iberian (Levantine) legend identifying the mint of Iltirta is inscribed. The design is set within a plain field on an irregular flan, with weak areas of strike consistent with hammered production. The overall composition reflects the typical reverse type of Iltirtan bronze coinage of the early 2nd century BC. |

| Additional information |
Iltirta was an Iberian city in the territory of the Ilergetes, in what is now the Lleida region of Catalonia, and its bronze coinage was struck during the period of intensifying Roman administrative pressure following the Second Punic War. Rome allowed — and effectively encouraged — Iberian communities to mint their own bronze for local exchange, provided silver coinage conformed to Roman weight standards. The as denomination here reflects that accommodation.
FAB 1470 is among the better-documented Iltirtan issues in Villaronga's corpus.
