Obverse description Bare male head facing right, rendered in a provincial Ibero-Hellenistic style with schematically depicted hair falling in thick locks behind the neck. Two pellets are visible in the left field, serving as decorative or denominational markers. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hand-struck Iberian bronzes of the period. No legend appears on the obverse.

Reverse description Horse galloping vigorously to the right, depicted with raised forelegs and a flowing mane, rendered in a characteristically Iberian schematic style. Below the horse, the Iberian legend in Levantine semi-syllabic script appears in the exergual area. The design reflects the widespread Iberian coinage tradition of equestrian imagery, adapted from earlier Greco-Punic prototypes.
