| Reverse description | Diademed female head facing right, tentatively identified as Venus, rendered in a simplified provincial style with lightly incised hair pulled back beneath a diadem. The portrait occupies the central field, surrounded by the abbreviated magistrates' legend C AL POMP M F VIC Q A F C KAR distributed around the periphery of the coin. The lettering references the duoviri quinquennales and the city abbreviation KAR for Cartenna (modern Ténès, Algeria). The flan is irregular with typical hammered fabric, and the surface carries a heavy green-brown patina. |
