Obverse description Bare laureate male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Hellenistic style characteristic of early Hispanic coinage. The hair is depicted in thick, wavy locks gathered beneath a laurel wreath, with individual berries visible along the band. The portrait occupies the central field with a broad, plain border, and the flan edge shows the typical irregularity of hammered bronze production. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse.

Reverse description Prancing horse advancing to the right, depicted with forelegs raised in a dynamic trotting or rearing posture. Above the horse's back, a star and a crescent or control symbol are visible in the upper field. In the exergue below, a short Iberian legend in Levantine semi-syllabic script identifies the issuing authority. The composition follows a type closely related to contemporary Iberian coinage influenced by Punic and Hellenistic horse iconography.
