| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of the Carthaginian goddess Tanit facing left, rendered in fine Sicilo-Punic style. The effigy features a straight nose and is adorned with a wreath of grain plants, a prominent forward curl above the forehead, a multi-strand necklace, and double-tiered triple-drop earrings. The hair falls in waves behind the neck, and the overall portrait displays strong influence from contemporary Greek coinage. No pellets appear in the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse standing to the right in a naturalistic pose, with head raised and mane finely rendered, depicted above a single ground line. Beneath the ground line appear two pellets (double pellet). The field is plain and without legend or additional devices. A beaded border runs along the upper periphery of the coin, consistent with the Sicilo-Punic coinage tradition of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carthage began issuing its own coinage relatively late for a Phoenician power of its size, driven largely by the practical demands of paying Sicilian mercenaries during the long series of wars with Syracuse. These electrum staters belong to that early military coinage tradition — struck not for civic commerce but to meet payroll in a foreign theater. The natural electrum alloy, drawn from North African sources, varies noticeably in gold-to-silver ratio across surviving specimens.
