| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in the Roman provincial style typical of Hispanian municipal coinage of the late Republican period. The goddess is depicted wearing a crested Corinthian helmet, with facial features shown in profile. The magistrates' names appear in the field as the Latin legend L M RVF P C Q, distributed around the periphery within a dotted border. The flan is irregular and slightly porous, consistent with provincial bronze coinage of this era. |

| Reverse description | Pegasus, the winged horse, striding vigorously to the right with wings raised, rendered in a bold, somewhat schematic provincial style. A wreath appears above the figure, serving as a symbol of civic prestige. The Latin legend EMPOR is inscribed below the figure along the lower field, identifying the issuing city of Emporiae (modern Empúries, Catalonia). The design is enclosed within a dotted border, and the coin exhibits characteristic green patination and surface roughness typical of Hispano-Roman bronze issues. |
