| Aanvullende informatie |
Carthage struck bronze fractional coinage heavily during this period to pay Sicilian mercenaries — a logistical necessity driven by near-continuous warfare against Syracuse and the western Greek colonies. The city had no tradition of civic bronze coinage before the late fourth century, adopting the medium largely under Greek influence from its Sicilian campaigns.
SNG Copenhagen 151 places this piece within a well-documented series, though die alignment and module inconsistencies across the type suggest decentralized or field-mint production rather than a single controlled Carthaginian workshop.
