| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse's head facing left with a palm tree to the right, rendered in the characteristic Punic iconographic tradition that frequently employs these symbols as emblems of Carthage and its African territories. The devices are set within a plain circular field with traces of a Punic legend around the periphery, largely illegible on this specimen due to flan irregularity and surface wear. The composition echoes the well-known Carthaginian type associating the horse with divinity and military power. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Qart Hadasht — the Phoenician name for Cartagena, Spain — served as the Barcid family's administrative capital in Iberia from the late 3rd century BC, and this fractional bronze belongs to the intense period of military monetization preceding and overlapping the Second Punic War. The Barcids struck enormous volumes of coinage in Iberia to pay mercenary forces, and fractional denominations like this quarter chalkous filled the gap where silver was too valuable for day-to-day transactions in camp markets.
ACIP 583 is among the smaller and less frequently encountered fractions of the Cartagena series.
