| Aversbeschreibung | Facing right, the wreathed head of the goddess Tanit is rendered in fine Sicilian style, her hair gathered beneath a wreath of grain leaves. She wears a triple-pendant earring and a pearl necklace, framing an elegantly modeled profile. Four dolphins are disposed around the field, symbolizing the maritime character of the Punic western Mediterranean world. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A powerful horse's head faces left with a flowing, finely detailed mane cascading down the neck, rendered in high relief characteristic of Sicilian die-cutting. To the left stands a tall palm tree, the emblematic symbol of Carthage and Phoenician culture. In the lower exergual area, a Punic inscription reads in Neo-Punic characters, translating as 'People of the Camp' (Mahane or Camp mint), identifying the issuing civic or military authority. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Punic Sicily in this period was a battleground for monetary influence as much as military control. Carthage used its Sicilian mints — Lilybaion and Entella among the most productive — to pay mercenary armies in the field, meaning these tetradrachms circulated less as trade currency and more as military payroll. The attribution to a single mint remains unresolved; Jenkins and Lewis identified the Group IV issues as a stylistic cluster without pinning down a precise workshop, and the debate has not definitively closed since their 1964 corpus.
