| Beschrijving keerzijde | Mounted horseman galloping to the right, the rider depicted with curly hair and holding what appears to be a lance or palm branch; the horse shown in full stride with all four legs extended. Below the horse, in the exergue, appears the Iberian legend in Levantine script identifying the mint city of Alaun. A dolphin or similar device may appear before the horse's forelegs. The composition follows the standard Ibero-Roman horseman type common to the northeastern Iberian Peninsula during the late Republican period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alaun was a pre-Roman Iberian settlement in the middle Ebro valley, and its bronze coinage was struck during a period when indigenous communities across Hispania were navigating Roman administrative pressure following the Punic Wars. The right to strike local bronze — while Rome controlled silver — was a practical concession, allowing regional economies to manage small transactions without Roman mint intervention.
ACIP 1471 is among the less frequently encountered Alavonese types. The CNH reference places it within a tightly defined regional group of Iberian script coinages whose attribution was debated for decades before epigraphy confirmed the civic identity.
