| Reverse description | A dolphin is depicted swimming to the right across the central field, a maritime symbol frequently employed on coins of the Algarve coastal city of Balsa, reflecting the town's commercial and geographical ties to the sea. Above the dolphin, the abbreviated civic legend BA is rendered in bold Latin characters in the upper field. The overall execution is typical of late Republican Iberian municipal bronzes, with a flat, irregular flan and a dark patina. |
