1. Title: Iberian Coin of the City of Saitabi (Juvaham or Juvara, modern-day Játiva), Spain This image showcases an exquisite Iberian coin, hailing from the ancient city of Saitabi, now known as Játiva in the Valencian Community of Spain. Dating back to the Iberian culture, which thrived in the western Mediterranean from the 6th to the 1st centuries BC, this coin is a testament to the rich historical and economic past of the region. The obverse side of the coin features the enchanting profile of a goddess, believed to be the Iberian goddess of fertility, Turanos. Her intricately detailed features, adorned with earrings and a diadem, are depicted with a sense of regality and grace. The reverse side displays the city's name, "SAITABI," inscribed in the Iberian alphabet, with a crescent moon and a star above it. The Numismatic Cabinet of Catalonia, located in Barcelona, is the proud home of this historical treasure. Established in 1863, the cabinet is a significant repository of numismatic and philatelic collections, shedding light on the economic, social, and historical aspects of various societies throughout history. The cabinet's extensive collection of Iberian coins, including this magnificent piece from Saitabi, provides valuable insights into the monetary systems and cultural practices of the ancient Iberian world. The Iberian coin from Saitabi is not only a beautiful artifact but also an essential piece of Spain's numismatic heritage. Its intricate design and historical significance serve as a reminder of the complex and fascinating history of the Iberian culture, which continues to captivate scholars, collectors, and history enthusiasts alike.
