Descrizione del rovescio	An eagle standing left with wings closed, its head turned back to the right, occupying the lower half of the field. Above the eagle, a Phoenician legend is inscribed in two or three characters reading right to left, framed by a continuous dotted border. The overall composition is typical of late Punic-Hispanic civic bronze coinage from Gadir.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Gadir — modern Cádiz — was among the oldest Phoenician settlements in the western Mediterranean, and its coinage reflects a mint that operated largely outside Roman administrative control well into the late Republic. By the first century BC, the city's issues were serving a regional economy built on salted fish and the garum trade, not imperial tribute. The FAB 1356 quadrans falls within a period when Gadir was transitioning from autonomous civic coinage toward the municipalized issues that followed Caesar's reorganization of Hispania.
