Obverse description Male figure depicted in left-facing stride, rendered in a schematic provincial style typical of Iberian bronze coinage. The figure carries a shovel or spade resting over his right shoulder, identifying him likely as a laborer or deity associated with agriculture. The design occupies the central field of the flan, with the surface showing the characteristic irregular fabric of hammered Lusitanian issues. A single letter, possibly the initial 'A', appears in the field as a control mark or abbreviated legend.

Reverse description A dolphin depicted in right-facing profile, rendered in a stylized, schematic manner consistent with Iberian provincial bronze coinage of the late Republican period. The dolphin's arched body occupies the central field of the irregular flan, a motif commonly associated with coastal Lusitanian minting towns and maritime trade. The design is executed with a bold, simplified contour typical of hammered issues from the region of Salacia. The field is otherwise plain, with no surrounding legend or exergual inscription.
