| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull walking to the left, rendered in sturdy relief with pronounced musculature, typical of the Iberian provincial coinage tradition. The animal is depicted in profile with head slightly lowered, standing above a ground line. A bilingual legend surrounds the type, with the Iberian script inscription in the upper field and additional lettering in the lower field or exergue. The composition reflects the strong Iberian cultural identity of Obulco's civic coinage alongside its adoption of Roman denominational standards. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Obulco — modern Porcuna, in the upper Guadalquivir valley — was one of the few Iberian mints to produce a fractional bronze series with any regularity, a fact that points to genuine commercial activity rather than purely civic or military issue. The Turdetani maintained enough trade density in this corridor, linking the mineral-rich hinterland to coastal markets, to justify small-denomination coinage in sustained quantity.
The mint is also unusual for its bilingual inscriptions, rendering the city name in both Iberian script and Latin — an early accommodation to Roman administrative presence that was uncommon this far inland before the mid-second century.
