Commentary
La légende KELSE est parfaitement lisible sur le revers, bien qu’en bord de flan. Au droit, le portrait est d’un style inhabituel, entouré de trois lettres ibériques, très proche de la monnaie n° 95 du Villaronga.
The legend KELSE is perfectly legible on the reverse, although at the edge of the flan. On the obverse, the portrait is in an unusual style, surrounded by three Iberian letters, very similar to the coin no. 95 of Villaronga

Historical background
HISPANIA - SPAIN - IBERICO - KESE (Province of Tarragona)
(2nd century BC)
The Iberian coins of Taragonna, a city located on the northeast coast of Spain, have two different epigraphies; CESE or KESE and CESSE. The Iberian legend relates to the people who lived there while the Latin legend TARRACO presumably relates to the town itself. The bronze coins are minted there shortly after 211 BC. The silver coins would only be from the 1st century.
