Obverse description Bare male head facing right, depicted with schematic hair rendered in a series of parallel lines or pellets, and wearing a mantle fastened at the shoulder by a fibula. The effigy is executed in a provincial Iberian style showing Hellenistic influence. A dotted border frames the design along the coin's irregular circumference. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription present.

Reverse description Forepart of a winged horse (Pegasus) in flight to the right, with outstretched wings prominently rendered and the foreleg raised. Below the figure, an abbreviated Iberian inscription in Levantine semi-syllabic script appears in the lower field. The design is characteristic of the Cessetani mint at Tarraco and reflects the local adaptation of Hellenistic mythological imagery. The flan is irregular, and the dotted border is partially visible around the periphery.
