Without the fame of Emerita Augusta, in Lusitania, or Tarraco in Tarraconense, an example of large cities on the peninsula in the time of Augustus, Roman Córdoba became the capital of the southernmost province of the Iberian Peninsula. Regarding the coinage, sesterces and aces share reverses with laureate crowns showing inside the legend Colonia Patricia, the name that the city currently receives after the Latin denomination of Cordvba. Although in theory dupondios and sesterces should have been made of orichalcum, the truth is that they also ended up making bronze with the peculiarity of weighing considerably more than usual.

The mints of this mint of contestan origin are reduced to aces and semises of Roman metric and exclusively from the time of Augustus and Tiberius. Although smaller in volume and with much fewer types, they are mintages very parallel to those of Cartagonova. The representation on the back of a tetrastyle temple dedicated to the goddess Juno, a Roman assimilation of the Carthaginian Tanit, is very characteristic.
