| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dolphin swimming to the right, depicted in a schematic yet lively style within a plain circular border. The body of the dolphin curves gracefully, with a rounded head and a visible tail fin, rendered in low relief against a flat field. Traces of an Iberian Levantine inscription appear in the lower portion of the field, partially obscured by wear and flan irregularity. The composition is consistent with the marine iconography typical of the Arse-Saguntum mint series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Saguntum's loyalty to Rome during the Second Punic War — the city endured an eight-month Carthaginian siege in 219 BC rather than capitulate, an event Livy treated as the war's moral ignition point — gave it unusual autonomy in subsequent decades. The right to strike local bronze coinage was part of that accommodation, allowing the Edetani community to maintain a commercial identity under Roman hegemony without issuing silver.
The dual naming convention, Arse being the pre-Roman Iberian toponym alongside the Latinized Saguntum, appears across the civic bronze series and reflects the transitional administrative character of the mid-Republican Hispania Citerior province.
