| Beschrijving keerzijde | Armored horseman galloping to the right, holding a long lance or spear leveled forward in attack position, in the classic Iberian jinete type. The rider wears a crested helmet and a cape or cloak that billows behind him. A palm branch appears to the left of the horse, serving as a symbol of victory. Beneath the horse, the mint legend in Iberian script is inscribed along the lower exergual line. The composition is enclosed within a plain border, and the energetic rendering of horse and rider reflects the dynamic artistic conventions of Celtiberian bronze coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sekaisa was a Celtiberian city in the middle Ebro valley, its coins minted under Roman provincial oversight following the conclusion of the Second Punic War and Rome's consolidation of Hispania Citerior. The Belli were one of the principal Celtiberian tribal groups implicated in the Numantine War, and bronzes like this one circulated in precisely the territory that became the flashpoint for that prolonged conflict — the campaigns of 153 BC effectively bracket the later end of this issue's production window.
The legend on these pieces is rendered in the Iberian script, one of the few epigraphic sources confirming the ancient place name.
