Obverse description Diademed male head in right profile, the diadem adorned with infulae (pendant ribbons) falling behind the neck. The hair is rendered in short, naturalistic locks swept back from the brow, and the bust is draped at the truncation. The portraiture reflects Hellenistic influence as interpreted by Iberian die-cutters, with bold, high-relief modeling typical of Hispanic bronze coinage of the early 2nd century BC. The field is plain and unlettered.

Reverse description A wild boar strides vigorously to the right, depicted with characteristic bristled dorsal ridge and alert posture, set within a plain field. Beneath the boar, a horizontal spear or lance is placed in the lower field, serving as a secondary device. Below the central design, the mint name legend CELTITAN is inscribed in Latin characters along the lower portion of the field, identifying the issuing community. The composition is bold and schematic, consistent with the conventions of Hispano-Roman bronze coinage of the Celtiberian region.
