| Obverse description | Central type consisting of a scallop shell (pecten) depicted in profile view, its fan-shaped ribbed valve prominently rendered in the center of the field. The shell is shown with characteristic radiating ribs converging toward the base, flanked by two smaller valve lobes at either side. The design is executed in low relief typical of Iberian hammered bronze coinage, with no surrounding legend. The flan is irregular and slightly rough, consistent with the hand-struck production techniques of the Iberian mint at Arse-Saguntum during the early second century BC. |

| Reverse description | Dolphin depicted in profile, swimming to the right, occupying the central field of the flan. The body is rendered in a stylized manner characteristic of Iberian bronze coinage of the period, with a curved silhouette and identifiable fin detail. A single Iberian Levantine script character appears in the field, serving as a mint or value indicator. The flan surface is heavily worn and patinated, with the design in low relief; no border or additional decorative elements are present. |
