Commentary
Portrait inhabituel, avec les trois lettres complètement lisibles. Exemplaire de poids relativement lourd pour un denier au cavalier.
Unusual portrait, with all three letters fully legible. A relatively heavy example for a knight's denarius.

Historical background
HISPANIA - SPAIN - VASCONES - TURIASU - (Province of Zaragoza - Tarazona)
(2nd-1st century BC)
The territory of the Vascons extended over the current Basque Country and Navarre including the city of Zaragoza. Turiasu is located on the Ebro and has been identified with certainty as ancient Tarazona in the province of Zaragoza at an important crossroads where the different influences between Sedetanos, Basques and Celtiberians mingle; influences that caused a great typological variety.
