| Reverse description | The deity Bes shown in frontal standing posture, a squat and leonine apotropaic figure characteristic of Phoenician-Punic religious tradition on Ebusitan coinage. Bes raises his arms outward, holding a hammer in one hand and a serpent in the other, attributes reflecting his protective and chthonic nature. The figure stands amid a field decorated with scattered pellets or granular motifs, consistent with the local die-cutting tradition. A bilingual legend surrounds the type, rendered in both Latin and Punic (Neo-Punic) scripts, referencing the island of Ebusus (Ibiza) and its status as a municipium under Augustus. |
