| Obverse description | Draped female bust facing right, rendered in a provincial Ibero-Punic artistic style characteristic of southern Hispania. The effigy displays stylized hair and facial features consistent with local Turdetanian coinage of the mid-2nd century BC. The Latin legend ABRA appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The flan is irregular and the relief is relatively shallow, typical of hammered bronze coinage from this region and period. |

| Reverse description | A plow oriented to the right dominates the central field, accompanied by a wheat ear also pointing right, both serving as agricultural symbols emblematic of the fertile region of the upper Guadalquivir valley. The design reflects the agrarian character of the Turdetani community at Abra. A legend in the Meridional Iberian script appears below and around the central devices, providing the local rendering of the city name or magistrate designation. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with the hand-struck fabric of Hispano-Turdetanian bronze coinage of this period. |
