| Obverse description | Draped female bust facing right, rendered in a provincial Turdetanian style reflecting Iberian artistic conventions of the mid-2nd century BC. The hair is elaborately styled with deeply incised parallel wavy strands swept back from the forehead, characteristic of local Hispanian coinage of this period. The facial features, though somewhat worn, display a pronounced profile with defined nose and chin. The Latin legend ABRA appears in the field, identifying the issuing mint. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hammered bronze coinage from this region. |
