| Obverse description | Within a dotted border, a tunny fish (atún) depicted in right profile occupies the central field, rendered with naturalistic detail typical of Hispano-Roman coinage of the Baetica region. A crescent symbol appears above the fish in the upper field. Below the fish, the Latin legend ITVCI is inscribed between two horizontal lines, identifying the issuing city. The overall composition is characteristic of the local Iberian mint tradition, with the fish serving as an emblematic reference to the town's fishing or commercial activities. |

| Reverse description | Within a dotted border, a stylized ear of grain or palm branch rises vertically from the lower field, its leafy fronds extending symmetrically to either side in a schematic, decorative manner. The motif is a common fertility or abundance symbol employed on the autonomous coinage of Hispanian cities during the late Republican period. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional legend or secondary devices visible. The strike is characteristic of the irregular hammered fabric typical of Iberian civic bronzes of the 1st century BC. |
