| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, with a prominent pointed beard and curly hair rendered in shallow relief, characteristic of late Mauretanian civic bronze coinage. The portrait is depicted in a bold, somewhat schematic local style without legend or border. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical patination consistent with hammered bronze issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | Three upright ears of grain (wheat/barley) displayed side by side, their heads fanning outward and stalks converging at the base, a well-known fertility symbol emblematic of the agricultural wealth of Mauretania. A Neo-Punic inscription in two parts is placed horizontally across the lower field, divided by the central stalk. The design is unbordered and fills the irregular flan, with the ears rendered in relief against a plain field. |
