| Reverse description | A horse's head is depicted facing left in fine relief, rendered in a stylized manner consistent with North African artistic influence. Behind the horse's head stands an erect date palm tree, a symbol closely associated with Carthaginian coinage and the Punic world. The Punic inscription ʿMMḤNT (𐤏𐤌𐤌𐤇𐤍𐤕), meaning 'Camp of the People' or interpreted as a mint or military authority designation, appears below the principal devices. The field is otherwise unadorned. The overall composition reflects the syncretism of Greek iconographic traditions and Punic epigraphic conventions characteristic of Siculo-Punic civic coinage. |
