The stamp depicts two blown-glass ointment jars found in the Roc d'Enclar archaeological site, located on a rocky promontory above the town of Santa Coloma, during excavations carried out between 1979 and 1982.4 cm high, this type of jar was used to hold medicinal or cosmetic products such as oils, essences or perfumes. The coins were found in burials and date from between the 8th and 10th centuries. From their shape (pear-shaped belly and long neck ending in a rounded lip) and material, we can conclude that they were made in Islam, probably during the Emirati period.
