| Reverse description | A dolphin swimming left dominates the central field, depicted with its body arched and tail fin rendered in a schematic, provincial style typical of South-Lusitanian coinage. An inscription in the South-Lusitanian Iberian script appears in the field, serving as the mint or ethnic legend. The design is bordered by a row of pellets following the contour of the irregular flan. |

| Additional information |
The Turduli were among the Iberian peoples who adopted Roman-style civic coinage during the late Republican period, issuing bronze fractions for local exchange as Roman commercial networks penetrated the Baetis valley. Beuibum's mint location remains unresolved — the toponym does not correspond with certainty to any identified archaeological site, which is itself unusual for a mint producing multiple denominations.
ACIP 971 is among the scarcer fractions in the Turduli series.
