| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse standing right, its head turned slightly toward the viewer, depicted in a naturalistic and finely modelled style. Behind the horse rises a tall palm tree, its fronds spreading gracefully to fill the upper field, flanked by a small star or rosette to the upper left — all characteristic Punic reverse emblems evoking the North African homeland. Beneath the horse's hooves, a ground line is indicated, with a small pellet or control mark visible below the belly, set within a plain, unlettered field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Siculo-Punic coinage series was produced to pay Carthaginian mercenary armies campaigning in Sicily — soldiers who needed familiar, spendable currency and cared nothing for Punic script or North African iconography. The mint responsible for this piece remains unlocated; candidates include Panormus, Lilybaeum, and a mobile military mint, none conclusively proven.
Jenkins' classification of this type within his P3 group places it in the middle phase of the series, when Carthage held significant territorial control following the sack of Selinunte in 409 BC and the ongoing pressure against Syracuse under Dionysius I.
