| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing left, the idealized head of Tanit-Persephone is rendered in fine Sicilian-Greek style, her hair bound with a wreath of grain leaves and falling in loose locks behind the neck. She wears a triple-pendant earring and a beaded necklace, lending the effigy an air of divine elegance. Four dolphins are arranged symmetrically around the portrait in the field, serving as sacred emblems of the sea deity. A small scallop shell appears below the chin, further reinforcing the marine iconography associated with the goddess. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These tetradrachms were struck at a Sicilian mint operating under Carthaginian control during the decades following the Peace of 368 BC, when Carthage consolidated its western Sicilian territories. The precise mint location remains debated — Panormus and Lilybaeum are the leading candidates — but the Punic administration clearly employed Greek-trained die cutters, a practical concession to a workforce and commercial network that thought in Hellenic monetary terms.
The Jenkins classification places these pieces within a tightly defined die study, making unauthorized attributions relatively easy to challenge against the documented sequence.
