| Obverse description | Draped male head facing right, rendered in a provincial Iberian artistic style with bold, somewhat stylized features. Three pellets arranged in a row are visible behind the head in the left field, serving as a value or workshop mark. The hair is depicted with a mantle or hood-like covering, consistent with Iberian indigenous coinage conventions of the period. The overall relief is moderately high, typical of hammered bronze issues of the northeastern Iberian peninsula. |

| Reverse description | Forepart of a pegasus striding to the right, with the winged horse's head, neck, forelegs, and folded wings rendered in a schematic but recognizable Iberian style. An Iberian legend in Levantine semi-syllabic script appears beneath the figure, identifying the issuing community of Auseskens. The design occupies most of the flan, with the truncation of the pegasus at the mid-body typical of quarter-unit denominations. The die work is characteristic of Iberian bronze coinage of the second century BC, showing influence from Greek numismatic prototypes. |
