| Beschrijving keerzijde | A four-spoked wheel occupying the central field, rendered in low relief on an irregular flan typical of hand-struck Hispanic coinage of this period. The wheel motif, a recurrent symbol on Edetani coinage from Arse-Saguntum, is depicted with a central hub and four radiating spokes extending to a plain rim. The design is contained within the irregular border of the hammered flan, with no surrounding legend visible on this denomination. The overall execution is characteristic of the local celator tradition influenced by Greek coin-making practices. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Saguntum — known to its Iberian inhabitants as Arse — was an Edetani settlement on the Mediterranean coast whose destruction by Hannibal in 219 BC served as the immediate casus belli for the Second Punic War. These small silver fractions were struck in the decades just before that catastrophe, circulating through a trading port active enough to require fractional silver for daily commercial exchange. The Edetani maintained their own monetary tradition largely independent of Greek colonial influence despite proximity to Emporion.
