| Reverse description | An Asian war elephant shown in left profile, rendered in a sturdy, naturalistic style with pronounced musculature and large ears; a bell is suspended from the animal's neck, a detail frequently associated with Carthaginian military elephants. The elephant stands on a plain ground line with no additional decorative border elements. Beneath the elephant, in the lower field, appears the control letter M, serving as a mint or emission mark. The composition closely parallels coinage struck in the context of Hannibal's Italian campaigns, reflecting the prominent role of war elephants in Carthaginian military iconography. |
