Obverse description Bare or lightly draped bust of a deity or local divinity facing right, rendered in a provincial Ibero-Roman style with hair swept back and arranged in layered locks. The facial features are naturalistically modeled with a strong profile. No visible legend or inscription surrounds the bust in the field. The flan is irregular and shows patinated bronze surfaces with typical wear consistent with circulation.

Reverse description A bull walking to the right is depicted in the upper register, set above a horizontal ground line dividing the design field. Above the bull, a crescent symbol appears in the upper left field, and a second symbol is partially visible in the upper right. Below the ground line, the Latin legend ORIPPO is inscribed in large, well-spaced characters occupying the lower exergual zone. The composition reflects standard Hispano-Roman municipal coinage typology of the late Republican period.
