| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two bunches of grapes depicted side by side in the central field, rendered in a stylised manner with individual berries suggested by raised pellets or granulation. A Punic or neo-Punic letter or symbol appears in the lower field. The grape motif is a characteristic emblem of Lixus, reflecting the city's association with viticulture and its legendary identification with the Garden of the Hesperides. The field is otherwise plain. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lixus, on the Atlantic coast of what is now northern Morocco, was among the oldest Phoenician foundations in the far west — ancient sources, including Pliny, claimed it predated even Gadir (Cádiz). The city struck its own bronze coinage under Mauretanian authority during the final century BC, a period when the kingdom was navigating the gravitational pull of Rome with increasing difficulty. Juba I allied with Pompey and paid for it; his kingdom was annexed by Caesar in 46 BC, though local civic issues continued under shifting arrangements.
The Copenhagen variant notation here suggests a die difference not fully catalogued in the standard references.
