背面描述	A date palm tree rendered in full, with a straight central trunk rising from a base of ground-level fronds and terminating in a broad crown of drooping, feathery fronds at the top. Two small clusters of pellets, likely representing date fruit bunches or symbolic ornaments, flank the lower trunk on either side. The design fills the flan, with no legend present. The palm tree is a well-known emblem of Carthaginian coinage and its Iberian military issues.

附加信息	The attribution "uncertain Iberian mint" reflects genuine scholarly disagreement, not cataloging laziness — the western Mediterranean during these decades was a mint-rich, politically fractured zone where Punic, Greek, and indigenous coining traditions collided under the pressure of Barcid expansion and, after 218 BC, active Roman military presence. The date range brackets the Second Punic War almost exactly, meaning this piece was struck and circulated through one of the most violent disruptions the Iberian peninsula ever experienced. ACIP 581 places it within a looser grouping of issues whose precise civic or military origin remains unresolved even after decades of Spanish archaeological excavation.
