Obverse description Bare head of the goddess Tanit facing right, rendered in a schematic Punic style with simplified facial features. The effigy displays a characteristic profile with a prominent nose and chin, with hair swept back from the face. The flan is broad and irregular, with the design occupying the central field. No legend or inscription is present. The strike is somewhat weak, consistent with the late Punic bronze coinage of the Iberian Peninsula.

Reverse description A stylized palm tree depicted frontally, its central trunk rising vertically and flanked by two pairs of drooping fronds curving symmetrically to either side. Two globular date clusters are represented in the lower field, one on each side of the trunk, rendered as circular pellets. The design is executed in a crude, schematic manner typical of late Punic bronzes struck in the Iberian region. No legend or exergual inscription is present.
