Obverse description	A bunch of grapes occupies the central field, rendered in stylized relief with individual berries depicted as raised pellets clustered together. The design is characteristic of the agricultural iconography favored by Turdetanian civic coinage in Hispania, referencing the region's viticultural production. The flan is irregular and the surfaces exhibit the typical flat, hammered texture of Iberian bronze issues of the period.

Reverse description	Two wheat ears are depicted pointing to the right, their grain heads and awns rendered in low relief in the upper field. Beneath the ears, the Latin legend ACINIPO is inscribed in large, bold characters spanning the central field, identifying the issuing city. The composition reflects the agrarian symbolism common to Hispano-Roman civic bronzes, combining cereal motifs with the civic name in a straightforward, utilitarian design.
