| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Hellenistic style, with finely delineated hair swept back in wavy locks. The subject is draped in a mantle fastened at the shoulder by a fibula, visible at the lower neck. The portrait is set within a plain field with no surrounding legend, consistent with the aniconic epigraphic conventions of Cessetanian coinage. The die-cutting displays a confident, if provincial, hand reflecting Greek artistic influence transmitted through the Iberian Peninsula. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of Pegasus depicted in full flight to the right, with raised wings spread prominently above the body and one foreleg extended forward. The winged horse is rendered in a bold, slightly schematic style typical of Hispano-Iberian bronze coinage of the period. Below the figure, a Iberian legend in the Levantine semi-syllabic script is inscribed, identifying the issuing authority. The design occupies most of the flan, with minimal exergual space, within a plain border. |
