| Reversbeschreibung | A spirited horse prancing to the right, depicted with forelegs raised in a lively, animated posture, the musculature rendered with considerable skill. Behind the horse rises a slender palm tree — a quintessential symbol of Carthage — its fronds spreading broadly above and clusters of dates hanging beneath. A dotted ground line is visible beneath the horse's hooves, framing the composition within the plain circular field. The design is unlettered, typical of early Punic tetradrachms struck for use in Sicily. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
These tetradrachms were struck at a Sicilian mint operating under Carthaginian military administration during the intense phase of conflict with Syracuse — most likely at or near Panormus, though the exact location remains debated among specialists. Carthage had no tradition of coinage before its Sicilian campaigns forced the issue: the need to pay Greek and Campanian mercenaries demanded coin in a denomination they would recognize and accept.
The Athenian tetradrachm served as the functional model, a deliberate choice aimed at mercenary confidence rather than civic identity. Jenkins' die study remains the foundational reference, with the P3 group representing a tightly defined emission within a mint that left few administrative records behind.
