| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bull standing to the right in profile, rendered in a sturdy, compact style typical of Hispano-Roman provincial coinage. The animal is depicted with careful attention to musculature, its tail raised. The magistrates' names appear as a circular legend around the type, divided between the upper arc reading M CAEC MAX and the lower exergual line reading L SEMP, identifying the two aediles responsible for the issue. |

Celsa — modern Velilla de Ebro in Aragon — was a Roman colony established in the Ebro valley following Caesar's campaigns in Hispania, and its earliest colonial coinage reflects the administrative machinery being built almost in real time. The magistrates named on this issue, L. Sempronius Maximus and M. Caecilius, served as aediles responsible for overseeing local markets, weights, and public buildings — precisely the civic functions that justified issuing small bronze fractions in the first place.
The dating window places this squarely in the turbulent decades of the late Roman Republic, when colonial mints across Hispania were asserting local identity through bronze issues that Rome itself had no interest in producing centrally.
