| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull standing right in profile, rendered in a schematic Iberian style, with a crescent symbol horns-upward positioned above the animal's back. The bull type is a recurring civic emblem on Castulo coinage, likely referencing local religious or civic identity. Two pellets below the bull serve as value marks denoting the sextans denomination. The field is otherwise plain, with no exergual line. The reverse die shows characteristic wear and flan irregularity consistent with hammered provincial bronze coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kastilo — modern Castulo, near Linares in the upper Guadalquivir valley — was one of the wealthiest mining towns in Hispania, sitting atop silver and lead deposits that Rome exploited heavily after the Second Punic War. Local bronze coinage like this sextans circulated during a period when the city retained enough administrative autonomy to issue its own currency, even as Roman fiscal pressure steadily tightened. That autonomy effectively ended with the Sertorian War, which makes the closing date of this series no coincidence.
