| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in the Ibero-Roman style characteristic of the Hispanic mint tradition. The helmet, of Corinthian type, is rendered with visible crest detail, and the facial features show a bold, somewhat archaic modelling consistent with local die-cutting conventions. An Iberian legend in semi-script characters appears to the right of the effigy in the field. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat uneven, as typical of hammered provincial bronzes of this period. |

| Reverse description | A lion striding vigorously to the right, depicted with a prominently rendered mane and powerful body, occupying the majority of the reverse field. The modelling is bold and stylised in the Ibero-Punic tradition, with the animal's musculature indicated by broad incuse lines. The Iberian legend 'etar' appears in the lower field or exergue, serving as a secondary ethnic or magistrate inscription. The flan edges are irregular, with some weakness in the strike at the periphery, consistent with hammered bronze coinage of the 2nd century BC Hispanic series. |
