| Obverse description | Facing left, the idealized effigy of the goddess Tanit rendered in fine Hellenistic style, her flowing hair elaborately dressed and bound with a wreath of grain ears symbolizing fertility and abundance. A single pendant drop earring is visible at the ear, and the softly modeled facial features exhibit the graceful refinement characteristic of late fourth-century Carthaginian die engraving. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with a finely beaded border framing the design. |

| Reverse description | A horse standing in profile to the right, rendered with naturalistic musculature and an animated posture, its head turned back to look over its shoulder in a spirited manner consistent with Carthaginian equestrian iconography of the period. The animal's mane and tail are depicted with careful detail, and the legs are shown in a composed standing position. Two pellets appear in the lower field beneath the horse's body, serving as a control mark or denomination indicator. The design is contained within a plain border on a slightly convex, irregular flan. |
