| Reverse description | A bull advancing or charging to the right, depicted in a sturdy, naturalistic manner consistent with Celtiberian coinage conventions of the late Republican era. The animal is rendered with considerable volume, its musculature suggested by broad relief. Below the bull, the Iberian legend TANVSIAL is inscribed in Celtiberian script characters running left to right along the lower field, serving as the mint signature of the city of Tanusia. The overall composition is bold and compact, filling the flan effectively within the irregular hammered planchet. |
