OMTICES (Area of Navarra, Aragon). As. (Ae. 10.40g / 26mm). 120-20 BC Anv: Male head bearded to the right, front plowed, rear ear. Rev: Rider with spear to the right, behind triquela, below Iberian legend: OMTiCeS. (FAB-1888). VF. Retouched reverse. Rare. Somewhere in Navarra or Alto Aragón we place this mint in which the representation of a plow in front of or behind the male head on the obverse, makes us place it within the influence of the bascones and more specifically in its easternmost area. Its exact location is one of the great enigmas of this mint (the existence of a town called Oncins in the province of Huesca, could derive its current denomination from the tribal name of this mint) that emitted few copper emissions and also with little representation of specimens. Only light metric units are known and therefore, framed in a very specific chronological framework: the beginning of the 1st century BC.
