| Obverse description | Male head in right profile, rendered in the Ibero-Hellenistic style, with curly hair falling in tight waves behind the neck. The facial features are boldly modeled, with a prominent chin and a naturalistic eye. The field is plain, with no legend or border decoration. The style reflects the influence of Greek coinage transmitted through the western Mediterranean, adapted by local Iberian die-cutters. |

| Additional information |
The Ausesken were an Iberian people settled in the region around modern Vic, in the interior of Catalonia. Their coinage follows the broader Iberian bronze tradition of the second century BC, produced in the decades following Rome's decisive campaigns against Carthage in the peninsula — a period when native minting proliferated rapidly as local elites sought to manage regional exchange without direct Roman oversight. The CNH 1 designation signals this is the foundational type for the series.
