| Reverse description | A crested Macedonian-style military helmet shown facing left, with a prominent crest, cheek guard, and ear flap rendered in low relief. The helmet type is consistent with Barcid military iconography employed at Carthago Nova during the Hamilcar and Hasdrubal period, reflecting the strong Hellenistic military influence on Punic coinage of Hispania. The field is plain, with no inscription or exergual marking. The overall style is bold and schematic, appropriate for a small bronze fractional denomination. |
