| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Tanit (or a Punic goddess assimilated to Core-Persephone) facing left, her elaborately dressed hair adorned with a wreath of grain ears and a crescent at the brow, with ringlets falling to the neck and shoulder. The modelling of the face is refined and reflects strong Hellenistic artistic influence, with delicate features and a serene expression. No legend appears in the field, consistent with Carthaginian coinage of this period. |

These fractions were struck to fund Hannibal's Italian campaign — the most financially demanding military operation Carthage ever undertook. The army that crossed the Alps in 218 BC was largely mercenary, and mercenaries required coin. Spanish silver, flowing through Carthaginian-controlled mines in the Iberian peninsula, provided the raw material.
The Müller and SNG Copenhagen references place this squarely within the Hispano-Carthaginian military coinage sequence, struck most likely in Spain rather than Carthage itself.
