Beschrijving keerzijde A tunny fish depicted in profile facing right, rendered with fine dorsal and ventral fin detail and a slightly curved body occupying the central field. A partial Greek legend appears divided above and below the fish, reading approximately ΛΑ above and ΣΙΛΣ (or similar) below, consistent with the abbreviated ethnic of Lopadusa. The design is executed in a provincial style typical of small bronze coinage from the Sicilian channel islands during the 4th century BC.

Aanvullende informatie

Lopadusa — modern Lampedusa — sits roughly equidistant between Sicily and the North African coast, and its coinage reflects that ambiguity entirely. The island was sufficiently peripheral that its autonomous bronze issues remain poorly documented; no ancient literary source names a mint there, and attribution rests almost entirely on findspot evidence and iconographic parallels with neighboring Sicilian and Punic series.

Surviving specimens are rare enough that die studies remain incomplete.
