| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large pendant bunch of grapes suspended from a vine branch, rendered in high relief at centre. Flanking the bunch on either side are stylised vine tendrils or branches, and the composition is framed by a partial dotted border along the lower periphery. The design reflects the importance of viticulture to the Phoenician colony of Lixus and is executed in a characteristic western Punic style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lixus, one of the oldest Phoenician settlements on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, struck its own civic bronze coinage during the late Republican period while nominally under Mauretanian authority. The city's autonomy in minting reflects the loose administrative grip that Berber kings maintained over their coastal dependencies — these were trading communities, and the right to coin was partly commercial convention.
The Copenhagen specimens (694–696) provide the primary die documentation for this type.
