| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Nike facing left, her hair elaborately dressed in tight curls at the nape of the neck and secured beneath a laurel wreath. The effigy is rendered in fine relief with naturalistic facial features characteristic of Hellenistic die-cutting. A beaded necklace is visible at the lower neck, and a pendant earring adorns the ear. The field is plain, and a beaded border encircles the coin's periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This issue falls within the turbulent decade of Barcid consolidation in Hispania, when Hamilcar Barca and then Hasdrubal his son-in-law were effectively building a Carthaginian state-within-a-state on the Iberian peninsula — one with its own army, its own revenue base, and, critically, its own coinage. Attribution to a specific mint remains contested; the "uncertain Iberian mint" designation reflects genuine scholarly disagreement rather than a gap in cataloging effort. Barcid gold of this period was likely struck to pay Iberian mercenary troops, whose loyalty was purchased rather than conscripted.
