| Obverse description | Bare male head in profile facing right, rendered in a local Ibero-Hellenistic style. The hair is depicted in thick, wavy locks swept back from the brow and gathered at the nape. A beaded border frames the flan along the upper periphery. The portrait, while influenced by Hellenistic conventions, retains the stylized quality characteristic of Hispanic workshop production of the early 2nd century BC. |

| Reverse description | A rooster stands in profile facing right, occupying the central field, its plumage rendered in a schematic yet expressive manner typical of Iberian bronze coinage. The bird's beak appears to hold a small object, possibly a lizard, as referenced in the numismatic literature for this type. Below and flanking the rooster, an Iberian legend in Levantine semi-syllabic script is distributed across the lower field. The composition is enclosed within an irregular flan with no formal border. |
