| Reverse description | A dolphin swims to the right in the upper field, rendered in schematic but lively style with a curved body, defined dorsal fin, and rounded snout. Three pellets arranged in a row above the dolphin serve as value marks denoting the quadrans denomination. Below the dolphin, the Iberian legend AIU.BaS is inscribed in Levantine semi-syllabic script, representing the local Iberian rendering of the city name Arse. A ground line separates the inscription from the lower field, and the overall composition is typical of late Republican-era Iberian municipal bronze issues. |
