Beschrijving voorzijde Bare-headed, laureate male bust facing left, identified as Melqart or Hasdrubal the Fair, rendered in a Hellenistic portrait style with fine curling hair beneath a laurel wreath. The facial features are modeled with strong, naturalistic relief, characteristic of late Carthaginian military coinage in Hispania. A club — the attribute of Melqart-Herakles — appears over the right shoulder in the field behind the head. The portrait exhibits a youthful, idealized quality consistent with the deification or heroization of the Barcid commanders. No legend or inscription appears in the field.

Beschrijving keerzijde A large African elephant strides to the right, depicted in high relief with naturalistic musculature, raised trunk, and prominent tusks. The animal is shown in full profile, conveying power and grandeur, alluding to the Barcid use of war elephants during the Punic campaigns in Hispania. The exergue and surrounding field are plain, unadorned by inscription or mintmark. A beaded border encircles the design, as visible on well-preserved specimens. The overall style reflects the accomplished die-cutting of Carthaginian military coinages of the period.
