Obverse description Fish depicted facing right within an irregular circular field, rendered in low relief characteristic of Gadiric bronze coinage. The fish motif, likely a tuna or similar pelagic species, is shown in profile with a single pellet representing the eye. The surrounding flan is rough and irregular, consistent with the small hammered bronze issues of the Punic mint at Gadir. No legend or inscription is present on this side.
