Roman coinage from the punic wars is interesting, but quite a bit rarer is coinage from Carthage before it was razed. They minted quite exquisite coins in gold, silver and copper. Below is an example of such a copper coin!
30mm, 17.4g Obverse: Head of Tanit left, wearing wreath of grain ears and single-pendant earring.
Reverse: Horse standing right, palm tree in background to left, ligate Punic T and S below.

Man all I know about carthage is elephant. Coin looks pretty roman in design to my untrained eye tbh, guess the cultures were pretty similar in a lot of ways
