Obverse description Bare male head facing right, rendered in a provincial Ibero-Hellenistic style, with schematically depicted hair falling in layered locks around the skull. The portrait is set within a plain circular border of dots (beaded border), occupying the full field of the flan. The facial features are boldly modeled in relatively high relief, characteristic of the Iltirta mint's early bronze coinage.

Reverse description A wolf striding or prowling to the right, rendered in a sturdy, schematic Iberian style with a prominent open mouth and raised tail. Above the wolf, a row of three pellets is visible in the field. Below the animal, a retrograde or partially legible Iberian legend in the Levantine semi-syllabic script appears in the exergue, identifying the issuing authority of Iltirta. The whole design is contained within a beaded border.
