| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena (Minerva) facing right, depicted in the Hellenistic tradition with a crested Corinthian helmet. The effigy is rendered in bold, slightly archaic relief characteristic of Hispano-Roman provincial coinage. The field is plain, and the design is framed by a border of olive or laurel sprigs encircling the entire coin, a distinctive decorative feature of Carmonian issues. |

| Reverse description | Two ears of grain (wheat or barley) arranged symmetrically, one above and one below, flanking a central horizontal band containing the city name legend CARMO in large, well-defined Latin capital letters. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, lending the composition a formal, civic character consistent with Iberian municipal bronze coinage of the early 2nd century BC. |
