| Aversbeschreibung |
Helmeted head of Athena (or Roma) in right profile, wearing a crested or plumed helmet with cheek guards and a draped pauldron visible at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in a bold, somewhat provincial Ibero-Roman style with strong relief. The field is plain and unlettered, typical of Untikesken bronze coinage of the late Republican period. |

Pegasus, the winged horse, depicted in a recumbent or leaping pose facing left, with large spread wings prominently rendered in the field. A small figure of Victory (Nike) and a bow are associated with the design, consistent with the coin's type designation. The Iberian legend in Levantine script encircles the lower portion of the reverse field, identifying the issuing community. |

The Untikesken gens — the Iberian tribe centered at Emporion on the northeastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula — minted bronze coinage throughout the late Republican period while maintaining a complex dual identity, their city having grown from a Greek Phocaean colony into a heavily Romanized trading hub. This issue falls within the period of the Sertorian War, when the peninsula became a theater for the Roman civil conflict between Sertorius and the Sullan commanders, a disruption that would have pressured local mints to sustain output for commerce and troop-related transactions.
The dating window overlaps precisely with Rome's gradual absorption of indigenous Iberian monetary systems.
