| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition adopted by Iberian mints. The goddess wears a crested Corinthian helmet, with visible facial features including a pronounced nose and chin. An Iberian letter 'e' appears in the right field, serving as a control mark. The style reflects the blending of Greek iconographic conventions with local Iberian engraving technique. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bull charging to the right with lowered head, rendered with vigorous naturalistic energy characteristic of Iberian bronzes. A crescent symbol appears above the bull's back. Below the bull, the Iberian legend 'untikesken' is inscribed in native Levantine Iberian script along a horizontal line, identifying the issuing community of Emporion-Untika. The composition is typical of the Ibero-Roman monetary series produced in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula during the 2nd century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Untikesken gens issued coinage from Emporion — the Greek colonial foundation on the Iberian coast that had operated as a commercial entrepôt since the sixth century BC. By the early second century, the city was minting in parallel traditions: Greek-influenced issues for regional commerce and Iberian-legend pieces aimed at the interior. This semis belongs to the latter impulse, produced during a period when Roman military presence in Hispania was intensifying following the Second Punic War and local mints were navigating competing monetary pressures from multiple directions.
The dolphin placement distinguishing this "legend e" variety is the primary means of differentiating it within the Untikesken semis sequence.
