| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Hellenistic style, with curly hair adorned by what appears to be a wreath or diadem, and a draped mantle fastened at the shoulder by a fibula. The portrait is boldly modeled with strong facial features typical of Cessetani coinage. The field is plain, with no visible legend or inscription. A beaded border frames the design along the coin's periphery. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of a winged horse (Pegasus) in full gallop to the right, with outstretched forelegs and flowing mane rendered in stylized lines above the neck. Four pellets appear above the horse's back, serving as decorative or denominational indicators. In the lower exergual area, a short Iberian legend in the Levantine semi-syllabic script identifies the issuing authority. The overall style is consistent with Iberian provincial coinage of the early second century BC, combining Hellenistic iconographic conventions with local workshop execution. |
