Reverse description Equestrian figure advancing to the right, the rider depicted raising a weapon in the right hand in a martial pose typical of Celtiberian bronze coinage. The horse is rendered in a dynamic, energetic style characteristic of Iberian mint production. Below the horse, a Celtiberian legend in Iberian script appears in the exergue, reading the mint name of Libiakos. The overall composition follows the widespread Iberian horseman type derived from Roman Republican iconographic influence.

Additional information

The Libiakos are among the least-documented issuing authorities in the Iberian peninsula's pre-Roman and transitional coinage, and no confident attribution to a specific tribe or settlement has held scholarly consensus. The absence of an ACIP reference number here is telling — this piece either remains unclassified or falls into a contested attribution zone where the corpus itself is still being assembled.
