| Reverse description | A palm tree rendered in a bold, stylized manner occupies the central field, flanked by two bunches of dates hanging from the fronds — a motif emblematic of the fertile North African region and the city of Thapsus. The design is executed in high relief with a rough, provincial aesthetic. The Phoenician legend 𐤔𐤕𐤐𐤔𐤓, reading the civic name of Thapsus, is inscribed in the field around the type. The overall composition reflects the bilingual civic identity of this Punico-Roman colonial mint. |
