| Obverse description | Draped female bust facing right, hair elaborately dressed in a bun with radiating strands, adorned with a necklace at the neck. A beaded border runs along the upper rim of the flan. The Latin legend OBVLCO is inscribed to the right of the effigy in the field, reading downward. The portrait is rendered in the provincial Ibero-Roman style characteristic of the Obulco mint, combining Hellenistic artistic conventions with local workmanship. |

| Reverse description | A Roman-style plough is depicted in the upper portion of the reverse, facing left, with its beam and share clearly delineated. Below, a prominent ear of wheat with full grain head occupies the lower field, also oriented to the left, symbolising the agricultural fertility of the Baetican region. Two lines of South Iberian (Meridional) script inscription are arranged horizontally between the two devices, dividing the field. The overall composition reflects the agrarian iconographic tradition characteristic of the Hispanic municipal coinage of Obulco. |
