| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dolphin swimming to the right, rendered in a lively, stylized manner with a curved body, prominent dorsal fin, and forked tail. Below the dolphin, a short Iberian (Levantine semi-syllabic) inscription appears in the exergual area, serving as the mint or civic identification legend. A small pellet is visible above the dolphin's back near the dorsal fin, a common decorative element on Arse coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Saguntum's coinage draws its historical weight from a single event: the city's refusal to surrender to Hannibal Barca in 219 BC, which precipitated the Second Punic War. By the time these bronzes were struck, that siege was over a century past, yet the city — rebuilt under Roman patronage — retained its local mint as a mark of civic standing within the increasingly Romanized Hispanic provinces.
The Edetani maintained their Iberian script on local coinage well into the first century BC, a stubborn persistence that makes these issues useful chronological markers for the gradual displacement of indigenous epigraphy by Latin.
