| Obverse description | Horseman galloping to right, the rider brandishing a spear in his raised right hand, depicted in the Iberian equestrian tradition characteristic of Hispanic coinage of the period. The horse is shown in full stride with legs extended. A crescent symbol appears in the exergue below a horizontal line, serving as a control or mint mark. The value mark 'A' is visible in the lower exergue field beneath the crescent. The entire design is contained within a plain circular border. |

| Additional information |
Ilipla was a town in the Anas River valley of Hispania Ulterior — modern Niebla in the province of Huelva — and its bronze coinage belongs to the broad wave of Hispanic autonomous issues that proliferated under loose Roman oversight following the Punic Wars. The town retained the right to strike its own bronze long after Rome had effectively consolidated the peninsula, a concession that reflects the pragmatic administrative flexibility Rome extended to cooperative Iberian communities during the second century BC.
ACIP 2370 places this issue within the heavier pre-reform weight standard, before Roman pressure gradually normalized Iberian civic bronzes downward.
