Obverse description Bare male head in right profile, rendered in the Ibero-Roman artistic tradition, with short wavy hair and a pronounced jaw. The bust is draped in a mantle fastened at the shoulder by a fibula, clearly visible at the lower truncation. The facial features are boldly modeled with a strong brow, straight nose, and defined chin. A dotted border runs along the inner rim of the flan.

Reverse description A horse prancing to the right, shown in a lively, naturalistic stance with one foreleg raised and the reins loosely trailing in the field above. The musculature of the animal is rendered with confident, schematic strokes characteristic of Iberian bronze coinage of the period. Beneath the horse, an Iberian legend in Levantine semi-syllabic script appears in the exergual area. The overall composition fills the flan with minimal border treatment.
