Obverse description Bare male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Punic artistic tradition with schematic facial features. The hair is depicted in a series of irregular raised locks or pellets arranged across the crown and nape, a stylistic convention common to Ilercavonian bronze coinage. The portrait occupies the majority of the flan, with the field left plain. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse.

Reverse description Horse galloping vigorously to the right, rendered in a lively, cursory style characteristic of Iberian provincial bronze issues of the 2nd century BC. The animal's legs are outstretched in full gallop, conveying motion, and the mane is indicated by a series of short strokes. Above the horse, the Iberian legend ABARI is inscribed in Levantine semi-syllabic script, serving as an abbreviated toponym identifying the mint of Abariltur. The composition fills the flan with minimal ground line.
