| Obverse description | A bunch of grapes depicted in high relief at the center of the field, rendered in a schematic yet bold style characteristic of Hispano-Roman provincial coinage. The cluster hangs downward with individual berries suggested by rounded forms, with no surrounding legend or border inscription. The flan is irregular and shows the typical coarse fabric of locally struck Iberian bronze issues. |

| Reverse description | Two wheat ears arranged in parallel, stalks directed downward and heads pointing to the right, occupying the upper portion of the field. Below the wheat ears, the mint name appears in a retrograde or irregular Latin inscription reading ACINIPO, a common epigraphic feature of this series. The lettering is arranged in two lines, with the characteristic crude engraving style of Turdetanian civic bronzes. |
