Reverse description A wild boar strides vigorously to the right in the central field, depicted with characteristic Iberian naturalism, its bristled dorsal ridge and sturdy legs clearly articulated. A Latin legend is inscribed above the animal across the upper field. The design is executed in the bold, somewhat schematic style typical of Obulco's civic bronze issues of the mid to late Republican period. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with hand-struck hammered production.
