The silver coin, in a well-preserved condition, was minted in Carthage (Tunis); although it is not possible to determine the mint precisely, a Sicilian origin can be hypothesized. The minting period can be placed between 409 and 390 BC, placing the coin in the historical context of the Punic Wars and Carthaginian expansion in the western Mediterranean. The iconography, featuring a horse and a winged Victory (Nike) crowning it on the obverse and a palm tree on the reverse, reflects common and significant symbols for Carthaginian culture, representing both military strength and economic prosperity.
