Carthago Nova


Shown below is a really cool, and rare, bronze 1 / 5 unit coin minted at the Carthago Nova mint of Punic Iberia during the 1st and 2nd Punic wars.

The reverse shows a beautiful Corinthian Helmet. The cool thing about this coin is the fact that it is very simplistic and uncluttered by text. Another cool thing is that this coin was minted in the days of Hannibal and therefore is of historical significance as well.
