| Obverse description | A large scallop shell rendered in high relief occupies the entire field, its radiating ribs fanning outward from a prominent central umbo. The valves curve symmetrically downward on either side, rendered with naturalistic detail characteristic of Iberian coastal civic coinage. The shell motif served as the principal emblem of Arse-Saguntum, evoking the city's maritime identity and commercial ties to the Mediterranean. The flan is irregular and the design extends nearly to the edge, with no legend or inscription present on this face. |
