| Reverse description | A dolphin swimming to the right is depicted in the upper field, while a large tuna fish faces left in the lower field, both rendered in naturalistic relief within a beaded border. The pairing of these two marine creatures alludes directly to the fishing industry—particularly the lucrative tuna trade—for which the coastal city of Abdera was renowned in antiquity. The Neo-Punic legend appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The composition is characteristic of Ibero-Punic civic bronzes from the southern Hispanian coast. |
