| Beschrijving voorzijde | Head of Herakles facing right, wearing the lion-skin headdress with the scalp knotted beneath the chin, rendered in high relief in the Alexandrine artistic tradition. The facial features are finely modelled with a prominent brow, well-defined cheekbones, and parted lips. The lion's mane frames the face with naturalistic, flowing detail. A dotted border encircles the design at the periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Siculo-Punic tetradrachms of this period were struck to pay Carthaginian mercenary armies operating in Sicily during decades of grinding conflict with Syracuse. The mint responsible for this issue remains unattributed with certainty — candidates include Panormus, Lilybaeum, and several field mints — a problem that has occupied scholars since at least Jenkins's foundational work on the series.
The window of 300–289 BC corresponds closely with the final campaigns against Agathocles of Syracuse, who had himself invaded North Africa in 310 BC, forcing Carthage briefly onto the defensive.
