| Obverse description | Bare male head facing left, rendered in the Ibero-Roman provincial style with schematic facial features and a plain, unadorned coiffure. The portrait is centrally placed within the field and exhibits the characteristically flat relief typical of Hispano-Roman coinage of the late second century BC. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading T • MANLIVS • T F • SERGIA, identifying the Roman magistrate Titus Manlius, son of Titus, of the Sergian tribe, who oversaw the issue. |

| Additional information |
Brutobriga remains one of the least-understood minting authorities in the Iberian series — the city's precise location has never been conclusively identified, with proposed sites scattered across the middle Ebro valley. The mint operated during the period of Roman administrative consolidation following the Gracchan reforms, and its coinage follows the Hispanic semis-based bronze system adopted by many Celtiberian and Iberian communities under Roman influence, though the city's own cultural identity sits unresolved between those two traditions.
