| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dolphin swimming to the right, rendered in the stylised manner typical of Iberian bronze coinage, its curved body and tail fin clearly articulated in low relief against a plain field. The Latin magistrates' abbreviation C · S · M · Q is distributed around the dolphin, referencing the local civic magistrates responsible for the issue. The flan is irregular with an encrustated green patina consistent with prolonged burial. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Saguntum's bronze coinage of this period reflects the city's peculiar status under Roman dominance — a settlement that had been the nominal trigger for the Second Punic War when Hannibal besieged it in 219 BC, drawing Rome into the conflict. By the time these fractional bronzes were struck, the city had been rebuilt under Roman sponsorship and was operating as a semi-autonomous municipality, issuing its own coinage under the Iberian script rather than Latin well into the 1st century BC.
The survival rate for these small fractional pieces is poor. Their low weight made them especially vulnerable to corrosion in Iberian soils.
