| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse galloping vigorously to the right, depicted with energetic, naturalistic movement including outstretched forelegs and a flowing mane, set within a beaded border. The composition follows the well-established Punic Iberian equestrian type, emblematic of Carthaginian coinage struck in Hispania during the Second Punic War period. Beneath or beside the horse, the Latin letter R appears in the field, serving as a mint or control mark. The reverse die is strongly struck but shows the characteristic irregular flan shape typical of this series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck during the final, desperate phase of Carthaginian control over Iberia, this fractional silver was produced as Scipio Africanus systematically dismantled Punic power on the peninsula following his capture of Carthago Nova in 209 BC. The issuing mint remains unidentified — attribution to "Punic Iberia" reflects genuine scholarly uncertainty rather than cataloging convenience. At 0.22 g, these pieces were small enough that ancient die-cutters worked at the absolute limit of practical engraving, and centering failures are endemic to the type.
