Commentary
Ce bronze avec des types bien particulier semble être un hybride par rapport aux monnaies publiées par L. Vilaronga.
Le droit avec la tête tourelée correspond aux monnaies CNH. 69 et 70 alors que le revers correspond au CNH. 71 qui est associé à un autre type de tête.
This bronze with very particular types seems to be a hybrid compared to the coins published by L. Vilaronga. The obverse with the towered head corresponds to the coins CNH. 69 and 70 while the reverse corresponds to CNH. 71 which is associated with another type of head.

Historical background
HISPANIA - SPAIN - BÆTICA - CARTEIA
(1st century BC)
The Latin colony of Carteia, located between the mouth of the Guadalquivir, in the bay of Algeciras, near the municipality of San Roque and the Palomares river, near the peak of Gibraltar was dedicated in 171 BC according to Livy (XLIII, 3). Established on the site of a very ancient city whose foundation would go to Hercules according to Strabo, the Roman and Carthaginian fleets had fought a naval battle there which left Lælius victorious over Adherbal during the Punic Wars. The colony would have been founded by the contribution of four thousand men who would have been freed, hence the name sometimes given to the city of "colonia libertinorum".
