| Additional information |
Ákra Leuká — modern Alicante on the southeastern Spanish coast — was established as a Barcid military base, its coinage serving the army payroll that sustained Carthaginian operations in Iberia. This trishekel belongs to the monetary system Carthage extended into its Iberian territories, with the shekel unit calibrated to pay mercenary soldiers at known daily rates. The CNH 12 attribution places it firmly within the controlled output of the garrison mint rather than any itinerant military issue.
Production ceased when Rome's Iberian campaigns severed Barcid control of the coast by 206 BC.
