| Reverse description | A tuna fish depicted facing left dominates the central field, rendered in the characteristic Punic-Iberian marine style emblematic of the fishing-based economy of Abdera. A dolphin, also facing left, appears below or alongside the tuna, referencing the city's coastal identity and its prominence in fish-salting industries. The Neo-Punic legend 𐤏𐤁𐤃𐤓𐤕, reading the toponym of Abdera, is placed within the field. The reverse design reflects the standard iconographic program of this mint, closely associating the city with the sea and its marine resources. |
