| Obverse description | Bare head of Juno Astarte facing right, rendered in a restrained Hellenistic style with flowing hair falling behind the neck. A long sceptre rises vertically behind the head, positioned in the left field. The portrait occupies the central field with no surrounding legend, leaving the flan plain beyond the effigy. The flan is irregular and somewhat thick, characteristic of provincial hammered coinage of the Augustan period. |

| Reverse description | A large cithara (lyre) depicted in central relief, shown frontally with a rounded resonance chamber and multiple visible strings rendered in fine lines. The instrument's two upright arms and crossbar are clearly defined, dominating the reverse field. To the left, a vertical Phoenician inscription reads downward in the field beside the instrument. The composition is bold and simple, consistent with the civic coinage tradition of Punic North Africa during the Augustan era. |
