| Additional information |
Umanbaate was an Iberian chieftain whose coinage circulated in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula during a period of intense Roman consolidation following the Celtiberian Wars. The absence of a CNH reference suggests this piece sits outside the standard Iberian corpus — ACIP 1698 places it among the lesser-documented local bronze issues whose attribution has been revised more than once as new hoards from the region are studied.
