| Obverse description | Central field bearing a stylized ear of grain depicted in high relief, with a prominent central spine flanked symmetrically by two lateral branches rendered in a herringbone pattern; the motif is characteristic of Iberian bronze coinage of the mid-2nd century BC and likely alludes to the agricultural wealth of the issuing community. No legend is present on this face. The flan is irregularly shaped and shows extensive olive-green patination consistent with prolonged burial. |
