| Additional information |
The Untikesken gens — the Iberian community centered at Emporion's hinterland, modern Empúries in Catalonia — began striking bronze coinage in the late third century BC, partly in response to the Roman military presence that had made the northeastern Iberian coast a logistical hub since the Second Punic War. This issue falls within the period of heaviest Roman consolidation in Hispania Citerior, when indigenous mints produced coinage that circulated alongside Roman Republican issues rather than in competition with them.
The FAB 1207 reference places this among the heavier bronze fractions of the series, a weight class that saw declining production as Roman administrative influence over regional monetary supply tightened through the 170s BC.
