| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse head facing left, rendered with naturalistic musculature and a mane depicted in twisted, rope-like strands falling along the neck. A palm tree, the iconic Punic symbol known as the symbol of Carthage, rises prominently in the right field behind the horse head. The composition is bold and uncluttered, filling the flan with the two principal devices in a style typical of Carthaginian military coinage of the late third century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck during the Second Punic War, this issue belongs to the period when Carthage was financing Hannibal's Italian campaign — one of the most expensive military operations the ancient Mediterranean world had seen. Maintaining an army that size, with war elephants and mercenary contingents drawn from Iberia, Gaul, and North Africa, demanded constant coin production across multiple mints simultaneously.
The Müller Cyrenaica classification places this piece within the North African issues rather than the Sicilian or Sardinian military mints, suggesting it served the home administration rather than the front.
