Concerning the silver coinages of the 2nd-1st centuries BC, the average quality of the metal minted was relatively high, although some mints located in the Meseta display more dispersed values and with an average of slightly inferior quality, below 90%. All silver coins were minted in the Citerior and the majority adopted the weight of the Roman denarius, for that reason they probably had an equivalent value. 100% 90% 80% ← ← ca. 130 BC Turiazu Ca. 120 BC Denarius 4.28 g - 19 mm Iltirta Ca. 175-150 BC Denarius 3.75 g - 19 mm Fineness of the <strong>Iberian</strong> denarii struck at Turiazu. ca. 72 BC 26
No city in the Hispania Ulterior minted silver coinages, however the territory was supplied with silver coinages, native or Roman. This location is one of the most notable differences between both provinces. Such distribution of the silver coinages has leads us to assume that some type of directive or norm from the Roman administration existed, allowing the Citerior to strike silver but not allowing the Ulterior. To do so, at the moment, no explanation that justifies the absence of silver issues in the Ulterior is satisfactory.
