| Obverse description | Male bearded head in right profile, rendered in the distinctive Ibero-Celtic artistic style with richly curled, voluminous hair arranged in tight spiral locks across the crown and nape. The beard is rendered as a structured array of pellets forming a pointed lower jaw, and the figure wears a beaded collar or torc at the neck. A small dolphin or branch symbol appears in the left field behind the head. The die-work exhibits bold, high-relief engraving characteristic of the Celtiberian minting tradition. |

| Reverse description | Armed horseman galloping vigorously to the right, rendered in dynamic relief; the rider wears a crested helmet and a beaded bandolier across the chest, and couches a long lance or spear horizontally in his right hand. The horse is depicted in full gallop with all four legs extended, its mane and tail rendered with engraved lines. In the exergue below the horse, an Iberian legend is inscribed in native Levantine semi-syllabic script, identifying the issuing mint authority. A floral or branch symbol appears to the left of the legend in the lower field. |
