Reverse description A dolphin depicted in dynamic profile, arching across the reverse field, a common maritime symbol associated with the coastal colony of Carteia in Hispania Baetica. The creature is rendered with typical provincial stylization, its body curved and its tail flukes clearly articulated. Below the dolphin, the duumviral dedication inscription D D (Decreto Decurionum) appears in the lower field, indicating the coin was issued by decree of the local senate. The composition reflects the strong maritime identity of Carteia, one of the oldest Roman colonies on the Iberian Peninsula.
