| Beschrijving voorzijde | A scallop shell depicted in high relief at the center of the field, its radiating ribs rendered with fine engraved lines converging toward the hinge. The shell is shown from above with the umbo at the top, surrounded by a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The design is executed in a naturalistic style characteristic of Iberian civic bronze coinage of the late Republican period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dolphin swimming to the right, its body arched with the head raised and tail curling upward, rendered in a schematic yet expressive Iberian style. An Iberian Levantine script legend is distributed around the dolphin, with characters appearing above and below the central motif. The inscription, reading in the Iberian semi-syllabic script, identifies the issuing city of Arse. The overall composition fills the flan, with the dolphin serving as the primary civic symbol of the maritime city of Saguntum. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Saguntum's bronze coinage persisted through one of the most politically volatile stretches in Iberian history — the city had been Roman-allied since before the Second Punic War, and its destruction by Hannibal in 219 BC was the casus belli Rome used to justify that conflict. By the time these fractional bronzes were struck, the city had been rebuilt at Roman initiative and was navigating the Sertorian War, which tore the peninsula apart through the 70s BC and likely disrupted or curtailed local mint output entirely.
