| Reverse description | A dolphin or cornucopiae-like curved symbol dominates the central field, accompanied by scattered pellets arranged around the device in a loosely distributed pattern. Below the central motif, three Neo-Punic characters are inscribed, reading 𐤂𐤃𐤓 (GDR), the Punic abbreviation for Gadir, identifying the issuing mint. The relief is flat and the surfaces are rough, typical of the small fractional bronze coinage produced at Gadir during the late Punic period. No border or additional ornamentation is present. |
