Obverse description Tuna fish depicted in profile facing right, rendered in a bold, schematic Ibero-Roman style typical of Hispanic provincial coinage. A crescent symbol appears above the fish in the upper field, serving as a distinguishing mint or denominational mark. Below the fish, a horizontal line separates the main device from the legend. The mint name ITVCI is inscribed in the lower exergual area in Iberian Latin characters.

Reverse description A single ear of wheat or barley depicted vertically and centrally in the field, with multiple pairs of grains arranged symmetrically along a central stalk, rendered in high relief with confident, stylized engraving characteristic of Hispano-Roman civic coinage. The stalk fills the entire flan, dominating the reverse composition with no accompanying legend or additional symbols. The agricultural motif likely alludes to the fertility and economic prosperity of the Ituci region in ancient Hispania Baetica.
