| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in the Ibero-Celtic artistic tradition with strongly modelled, curly hair depicted in voluted locks arranged across the crown and falling behind the neck. A small spherical pellet or control mark appears in the left field. The portrait displays a pronounced jaw, detailed ear, and a naturalistic profile silhouette, reflecting the influence of Hellenistic coinage conventions adapted by Celtiberian moneyers. No legend is present on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Armoured warrior on horseback galloping to the right, holding a long lance couched forward in the attack position, rendered in the characteristic Celtiberian jinete (cavalryman) style. The horse is depicted in full gallop with all four legs extended, its flowing mane and tail adding dynamism to the composition. Below the horse, an Iberian legend in Celtiberian script occupies the exergual area, reading the mint name Arekorata. The design is bold and vigorous, typical of the Hispanic denarius coinage of the late 2nd century BC. |
