| Reverse description | A lion in vigorous motion advancing to the right, depicted in high relief with musculature carefully rendered and mouth open in a snarl, the tail raised and curling over the back. The animal strides across an unadorned ground line, projecting an image of power characteristic of Carthaginian military coinage associated with the Mercenary War period. Above the lion's back in the upper field appears the Punic letter mem, serving as a mint or control mark. The composition is dynamic and well-centred within the circular flan, reflecting the accomplished die-cutting typical of Carthaginian silver issues of the late third century BC. |
