| Obverse description | Male head facing right, depicted in the Ibero-Hellenistic style, wearing a plain helmet or possibly laureate wreath; the hair rendered in schematic parallel strokes falling to the nape. The portrait occupies the full field of the flan, with no visible legend. The style reflects local Iberian artistic traditions blending Hellenistic influence, characteristic of Hispanic coinage of the second century BC. |

| Reverse description | A boar or similar animal advancing to the right, rendered in a bold, summary style typical of Iberian bronze coinage of the period. Above or before the animal appears a stylized symbol, possibly a carnyx or dolphin-like device. Below the principal type, a Iberian legend in Levantine Iberian script runs along the lower field, reading the ethnic of the issuing community. The overall composition is set within an irregularly shaped flan with a plain edge. |
