| Obverse description | Draped bust of Venus facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Roman provincial style, with an elaborate coiffure of parallel ridges and a decorative earring visible at the neck. The effigy occupies the central field within a beaded border. The colonial legend COL VIC IVL LEP is inscribed in the field around the bust, identifying the issuing colony of Celsa (Colonia Victrix Iulia Lepida). The portraiture is bold and relatively high-relief for a provincial issue of this period. |

| Reverse description | A sturdy bull strides to the right, rendered in a robust, naturalistic style characteristic of Hispano-Roman provincial coinage. The animal stands on a plain ground line, with its head slightly lowered and tail raised. The legend PR II VIR is inscribed in the upper field above the bull, while the names of the duoviri N NEP and L SVRA appear in the lower field below the ground line, all within a beaded border. The abbreviated magistrates' names identify the two local officials responsible for the issue. |
