Tetradrachma, possibly issued by Carthage in a Sicilian mint around the 4th century BCE, and which displays three of the most representative emblems of the Carthaginian world on its two faces. On the obverse, a profile of the goddess Tanit wearing a triple pendant earring, bead necklace and crown of thorns. Four dolphins surround her. On the reverse, a horse's head, behind it, a palm tree, and below it, a Punic inscription.
