Obverse description A single upright wheat ear rendered in fine relief, occupying the central field, with two lateral stalks flanking the main spike and leaf-like glumes clearly articulated. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle and a prominent beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The composition is bold and emblematic, referencing the agricultural wealth of the Guadalquivir valley region. No legend or inscription appears on this side. The surface shows characteristic green patination consistent with ancient bronze coinage.

Reverse description A river fish (commonly identified as an allis shad or river herring) depicted facing right in profile, rendered with naturalistic detail. Beneath the fish, the civic legend appears in two horizontal lines in Latin characters. A crescent symbol is placed in the upper field above the fish. The overall composition is enclosed within a linear border, consistent with Hispano-Roman provincial coinage of the 2nd century BC.
