| Additional information |
Gadir — modern Cádiz — was among the oldest Phoenician settlements in the western Mediterranean, founded around 1100 BC according to ancient sources, and its bronze coinage persisted well into the Roman provincial period largely because Rome permitted compliant Iberian cities to maintain local mint authority as a practical administrative concession. By the late first century BC, Gadir's monetary output was winding down entirely, making later emissions from this series scarce in any condition.
