| 背面描述 | A horseman galloping to the left, depicted in the energetic Hellenistic equestrian tradition common to Numidian and Punic bronze coinage; the horse is shown at full stride with all four legs extended. Beneath the horse, a Punic legend enclosed within a linear cartouche identifies the issuing authority, accompanied by a pellet or dot serving as a denominational or decorative mark. The reverse flan is likewise irregular in outline, consistent with the crude hammered fabric of this provincial issue. |

Syphax ruled the Masaesyli tribe of western Numidia and spent much of his reign playing Rome against Carthage with calculated opportunism — at various points allied to both. During the Second Punic War he ultimately sided with Carthage, taking Sophonisba as his wife in a match brokered by Hasdrubal Gisco. That decision ended badly: he was captured by Scipio Africanus and Masinissa at the Battle of the Great Plains in 203 BC, the very year this coinage series closes.
The "var." designation against GCV 6632 likely reflects beard typology — the pointing beard being a documented die variant within Syphax's bronze issues.
