| Obverse description | Bare-headed male effigy facing left, traditionally identified as Hamilcar Barca, rendered in the Hellenistic portraiture style characteristic of Punic Iberian coinage. The subject displays idealized youthful features with wavy, closely cropped hair bound by a diadem, the ends of which fall behind the neck. The portrait is boldly modeled with high relief, conveying a sense of authority and command. A dotted border encircles the entire field. No legend or inscription is present. |
