| Reverse description | Pegasus in full flight advancing to the right, depicted with outstretched wings and forelegs raised, rendered in a distinctly local Iberian style with a modified or stylized head. A horizontal ground line is visible beneath the figure. An Iberian legend in Levantine semi-syllabic script appears in the lower field or exergue, identifying the issuing mint of Untikesken. The composition reflects the influence of Greco-Roman iconographic models adapted by indigenous Iberian die-cutters. |

| Additional information |
The Indigetes occupied the northeastern Iberian coast around modern Empúries and were among the indigenous peoples most directly exposed to Greek commercial influence through the nearby colony of Emporion. Their bronze coinage, including this as, drew heavily on Ibero-Roman monetary conventions being consolidated during the Second Punic War's aftermath, when Roman administrative pressure across Hispania pushed local mints toward standardized weight systems. The CNH attribution places this among a well-documented series, though die studies have revealed considerable variation in flan preparation within the type.
