| Obverse description | Draped female head facing right, rendered in a local Ibero-Roman artistic style with hair swept back and gathered at the nape. The effigy occupies the central field of the flan, exhibiting coarse but characterful die-work typical of Turdetanian municipal issues. The legend ABRA appears to the right of the bust, inscribed in Latin characters running downward along the inner edge of the coin. |

| Reverse description | A plow depicted in profile facing right occupies the upper field, while a prominent ear of wheat pointing right fills the central and lower field, its detailed grains rendered in stylized parallel strokes. These symbols of agricultural prosperity are characteristic of the Obulco mint type from which this mule reverse derives, reflecting the fertile agrarian identity of the Guadalquivir valley region. A retrograde Latin legend encircles the design, reading from right to left in the manner typical of certain Iberian and Turdetanian coinage of this period. |
