| Reverse description | Pegasus, the winged horse, depicted in a rearing or prancing posture facing right, with large outstretched wings prominently rendered. A crescent symbol appears in the upper left field, and the Greek letter phi (Φ) is visible above the figure as a control mark. The Iberian mint name legend 'untikesken' is inscribed in Iberian script along the lower portion of the field, with the magistrate's name 'iltirarker' appearing below. The composition closely follows the Emporitane monetary tradition, reflecting the Hellenized cultural milieu of northeastern Hispania. |

| Additional information |
The Untikesken gens issued coinage from Emporion — the Greek colonial settlement on the northeastern Iberian coast — during a period when the city was navigating the competing pressures of Roman administrative consolidation and residual Iberian cultural identity. These bronzes circulated in a region where Iberian script, Greek commercial networks, and Roman military presence overlapped in ways that produced genuinely hybrid monetary culture. The legend itself is rendered in Iberian script, a fact that places this issue firmly within local tradition even as Roman influence over the peninsula tightened after the Gracchan land reforms of the 130s BC.
