| Beschrijving voorzijde | A bull standing to the right occupies the central field, rendered in relief in the provincial style typical of Hispanian civic bronzes. The animal is depicted with sturdy musculature and slightly raised head. The Latin legend TAR appears above the bull, identifying the issuing city of Tarraco. The flan is irregular and somewhat crude, consistent with local municipal production of the Augustan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tarraco (modern Tarragona) served as the administrative capital of Hispania Citerior, and its mint produced a sequence of Augustan bronzes tied directly to the local colonial magistracy — the quattuorviri, whose abbreviated titles appear on these issues. The C V T in the designation reflects the colony's full name, Colonia Iulia Urbs Triumphalis Tarraco, a title awarded in recognition of Augustus's extended stay there in 26–25 BC while directing campaigns in the Cantabrian Wars.
At 15 mm and just under 3 grams, this semis sits at the lighter end of the colonial bronze spectrum, consistent with Tarraconensian practice rather than any production irregularity.
