| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crab depicted facing, rendered in low relief with outstretched claws and segmented legs radiating symmetrically across the field. The carapace is centrally positioned and modelled in a schematic yet characteristic ancient Sicilian style. A single Punic letter M appears below the crab in the lower field, serving as a mint or magistrate mark. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crab depicted facing, closely mirroring the obverse type, with outstretched claws and articulated legs spread across the irregular flan. The design is executed in the same schematic hammered style typical of small Sicilian bronze issues of the period. A single Punic letter G appears below the crab in the lower field, likely functioning as a secondary control or magistrate mark. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lopadusa — the ancient name for the island now called Lampedusa — issued its own bronze coinage during the Hellenistic period despite being little more than a remote waypoint in the Sicilian Channel. The island's numismatic output is exceptionally scarce, and CNS 5 represents one of only a handful of recognized types attributed to this mint. Whether the coinage served a genuinely local economic function or was produced for a specific transient population — military, mercantile, or otherwise — remains unresolved.
