| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, depicted in a robust and somewhat schematic Iberian artistic style, with a heavily rendered wreath or voluminous hair mass crowning the head. The facial features are boldly modeled, with a prominent nose and defined jaw. A draped mantle or cloak is visible at the neck and truncation. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | A horse prancing or pawing to the right, rendered in a lively if stylized manner characteristic of Iberian bronze coinage. The reins trail loosely in the field above the horse's back, with no rider present. Below the horse, a ground line of irregular pellets or lumps is visible. An Iberian script legend appears in the field, associated with the mint of Kesse (Tarraco). The composition fills the flan with little remaining field. |
