| Reverse description | An anchor depicted facing upward, centrally placed within the field, a symbol closely associated with the maritime commercial importance of Carthago Nova as a major Mediterranean port. The arms of the anchor are rendered in a bold, schematic style typical of provincial Hispanic bronze coinage. The magistrate's name or abbreviation POPI appears in the field around or adjacent to the anchor, referencing a local duoviral authority. The overall execution reflects the utilitarian nature of small-denomination civic bronze coinage of the late Roman Republican period in Hispania. |
