| Obverse description | Macedonian-style crested helmet depicted in left profile, with cheek guards and neck flap clearly delineated in low relief. The helmet fills the central field of the flan, rendered in a stylized Hellenistic manner consistent with North African civic coinage of the late Republican period. The surface shows typical patination and wear consistent with circulation, with a dotted border visible along the coin's periphery. No legend or inscription appears on this side. |

| Reverse description | A coiled serpent occupies the central field, its body forming a large circular spiral with the head raised and visible at the upper register. Neo-Punic inscription surrounds the central device, partially legible along the outer margin of the flan. The serpent motif is a characteristic emblem of Oea's civic coinage, reflecting the city's Punic cultural heritage and its syncretic Hellenistic-Punic artistic traditions. The design is struck on an irregular flan with characteristic variable alignment. |
