| Reverse description | Two tuna fish (thunnus thynnus) arranged horizontally and facing left, rendered in a stylized but naturalistic Punic manner, reflecting the importance of the tuna fishing industry to ancient Gades. A crescent and a pellet or dot appear between the heads of the fish, while a Punic letter alef (𐤀) is placed between their tails. A Punic inscription runs above and below the fish in the field, reading the mint name or civic legend of Gadir. The composition is well-balanced within the flan, consistent with the standard reverse type of Gadiric bronze semis coinage. |
