| Obverse description | A scallop shell depicted in full face view, centrally placed within the field. The shell is rendered with radiating ribs fanning outward from a rounded base, characteristic of the pecten motif widely employed in Iberian coastal coinage to evoke maritime identity. The design occupies nearly the entire flan, with no legend or border. The style is bold and schematic, consistent with Ibero-Punic artistic conventions of the early 2nd century BC. |

| Reverse description | A dolphin swimming to the right, depicted in profile with a curved body and prominent snout, occupying the central field of the flan. The figure is rendered in a simplified, stylized manner typical of Iberian small bronze coinage, with the tail fin and dorsal details lightly suggested by the die engraving. No legend or inscription is present. The field shows the irregular, slightly concave surface characteristic of hammered provincial bronzes of this period. |
