| Obverse description | Bare male bust facing left with flowing hair rendered in thick, stylized locks, identified as a deity — likely Melqart-Hercules — depicted in a Punic artistic tradition. A club or scepter is positioned vertically before the face, a characteristic attribute of the Heraclean iconography employed at Gadir. The portrait is rendered in low relief with broad, somewhat schematic facial features typical of late Punic bronze coinage. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend or border of dots visible on this issue. |
