| Obverse description | Cast bronze dolphin-shaped coin in high relief, depicted in profile with the body curving slightly, the dorsal fin prominently raised and the snout tapering to a point. The surface exhibits characteristic casting texture with modeled anatomical detail including a raised lateral line and eye socket. A green patina consistent with ancient bronze is visible across the field. No legends or inscriptions are present; the entire obverse design consists of the naturalistic dolphin form in the round. |
