| Obverse description | Male head facing right, depicted in the Iberian artistic tradition, wearing what appears to be a conical or crested helmet. The effigy is rendered in a somewhat archaic, provincial style characteristic of Hispano-Roman coinage of the early 2nd century BC. A border of dots encircles the design on both sides of the field, framing the portrait. The surface shows typical patination and wear consistent with hammered bronze coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Male head facing right in a style closely related to the obverse type, rendered in low relief with bold, somewhat schematic features typical of Iberian municipal bronze coinage. The legend ILVRCON appears in the field to the right of the bust, identifying the issuing city of Ilurco in the Iberian script latinized form. The design is framed within an irregular flan, with the inscription distributed vertically alongside the portrait in a manner consistent with provincial Hispanic coinage conventions of the early 2nd century BC. |
