| Obverse description | A dolphin depicted in right profile occupies the central field, rendered in relief with characteristic arched body and pointed snout. The magistrates' names appear as a divided legend, with C CAEDI inscribed in the upper field and POPILI along the lower exergual area. The style is typical of Hispano-Roman provincial coinage, with the dolphin serving as a symbol of maritime prosperity associated with Carthago Nova. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat off-center, as is common for hammered issues of this period and region. |
