| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing three-quarter portrait of the goddess Tanit turned to the left, her hair wreathed with grain ears, adorned with a beaded necklace and triple-drop pendant earring. The facial features are rendered in a refined Hellenistic style, with wavy hair framing the face and falling onto the shoulders. The portrait draws clear artistic influence from contemporary Greek coinage, likely inspired by Syracusan die-engravers. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carthaginian gold staters of this period were almost certainly struck to pay mercenary forces — Libyan, Iberian, Campanian, and Greek soldiers who would not accept promises in place of metal. The Sicilian wars against Syracuse drove enormous demand for coined gold, and Carthage had no deep tradition of civic coinage before military necessity created one. These staters circulated primarily as wage payments, not commercial currency.
J&L 14 places this among the earlier Carthaginian gold issues, before the series standardized under more controlled military finance in the late 4th century.
