| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in left-facing profile, rendered in the Greco-Iberian artistic tradition. The goddess wears a crested Corinthian-style helmet with a prominent plume sweeping rearward across the field. The facial features are boldly modeled with a strong jaw and defined nose, while a draped shoulder is visible at the truncation. The reverse of the helmet crest trails dynamically to the right, filling the upper field. |

| Additional information |
Untikesken — the Iberian name for the Greek colonial settlement at Emporion, modern Empúries on the Catalan coast — issued bronze coinage under increasing Roman administrative pressure throughout the late second and early first centuries BC. This issue falls within the period when Rome was tightening fiscal control across Hispania following the Sertorian War, yet local Iberian mints retained enough autonomy to strike in their own names through roughly 72 BC. The gens designation reflects the community's hybrid Greco-Iberian civic identity, neither fully Roman nor purely indigenous.
