| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Punic artistic tradition, with schematically modelled hair swept back from the forehead and a short, squared jaw. The portrait, likely representing a local deity or heroic figure, is set within a plain field with no surrounding legend. The style reflects indigenous Iberian die-cutting technique of the early second century BC. |

| Reverse description | A horse prancing to the right, with raised forelegs and flowing, unattended reins extending upward into the field, indicating the animal is loose or riderless. The figure is depicted in a lively, energetic stance characteristic of Iberian coinage of this period. Below the horse, a Iberian inscription in the native Levantine semi-syllabic script appears in the lower field, serving as a mint or ethnic identifier. A dotted border frames the design. |
