| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in a schematic Ibero-Punic artistic style characteristic of early Hispanic coinage. The hair is depicted in thick, roughly modeled locks swept back from the face. The facial features, including a pronounced nose and chin, are summarily engraved, reflecting the limited die-cutting sophistication of the Ilergetes mint. No legend or inscription appears in the field. The flan is irregular and slightly broader than the die, with patches of green patina obscuring portions of the relief. |

| Reverse description | A wolf striding to the right, depicted in full body with legs in motion, rendered in a bold and schematic style typical of early Iberian bronze coinage. The animal's musculature is summarily indicated, with the head slightly raised and the tail extended. The figure occupies the central field of the flan, with no surrounding legend or inscription. The flan surface shows extensive green patination with areas of earthen encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. No exergual line or border devices are present. |
