| Beschrijving voorzijde | A dolphin depicted in left-facing profile occupies the central field, rendered in a schematic yet characteristic archaic style typical of Iberian fractional coinage. An arched line terminating in an outward hook is visible above the dolphin, likely representing a simplified net or decorative border element. A wavy line below the dolphin's body evokes the sea, contextualizing the marine subject matter. The overall design is compact and boldly struck, consistent with the miniature format of this denomination. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a two-line inscription rendered in the Iberian Levantine semi-syllabic script, identifying the issuing city of Arse. The legend is distributed across two horizontal registers within the confined flan, with characters executed in the angular, lapidary style characteristic of northeastern Iberian epigraphy. The striking is somewhat irregular due to the small flan size, which may partially clip the extremities of the inscription. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional decorative elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Saguntum's coinage before the Second Punic War occupies a narrow and poorly documented window. The city — a Roman ally on the Iberian coast — was besieged and sacked by Hannibal in 219–218 BC, an act that directly triggered Rome's declaration of war against Carthage. Fractional silver of this type almost certainly circulated in the city during or immediately before that siege, making survival of any example genuinely remarkable given the destruction that followed.
