| Additional information |
Uarkas was an Iberian tribal authority operating in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula during the period of intensifying Roman penetration following the Second Punic War. The CNH#1 designation places this among the earliest catalogued issues of the series, and ACIP 1916 confirms its position as a foundational type in Iberian bronze coinage — minted at a moment when indigenous communities were navigating the collapse of Carthaginian influence and the uncertain demands of the new Roman presence.
The issuing authority behind the Uarkas name remains incompletely resolved in the scholarship; the toponym has been tentatively linked to a site in the Ebro valley region, though no consensus identification has held.
