| Obverse description | Bare head of Vulcan facing right, depicted in a archaic Punic artistic style, with coarse facial features and a rounded cap typical of the god's iconography. A Neo-Punic legend appears behind the head in the left field. The portrait is enclosed within a dotted border visible on portions of the flan, and the overall fabric is characteristically irregular, as typical of Hispano-Punic bronze coinage of the 2nd century BC. |

| Reverse description | Large radiate star composed of eight principal rays alternating with eight shorter interspersed rays, forming a sixteen-pointed stellar motif that fills the entire reverse field. The rays emanate from a central boss and taper to fine points, creating a bold and symmetrical design. A dotted border runs along the periphery of the coin. This stellar type is a hallmark of the Malaka bronze series and reflects Phoenician celestial symbolism. |
