Original Note:
This was minted during Second Punic War (218-201 BC) in Italy. There is no proved connection however with this coin and Hannibal: https://es.numista.com/catalogue/pieces178626.html Furthermore, the claim that Hannibal was black is wrong considering his origins and archeological evidence: https://www.livius.org/pictures/a/carthaginian-art/melqart-on-a-coin-of-hannibal/
