| Obverse description | Draped female bust facing right, the head adorned with a stephane or wreath incorporating ears of wheat, rendered in a style blending Hellenistic influence with Iberian artistic conventions. The hair is elaborately arranged and falls in waves behind the neck, with a beaded necklace visible at the base of the bust. The portrait is bold and high-relief, filling much of the flan. The field is plain and unlettered, consistent with the aniconic tradition of the earliest Iltirta drachm series. |

| Reverse description | Pegasus in full flight to the right, depicted with outstretched wings, muscular body, and a characteristically modified head with an elongated, stylized muzzle reflecting local Iberian die-cutting conventions. The winged horse's forelegs are extended in a galloping posture, with the hind legs tucked beneath the body. An Iberian (Levantine) inscription in semi-scriptio continua runs along the lower periphery and right field of the coin, identifying the issuing authority of Iltirta. The overall composition is dynamic and closely derived from Emporitan prototypes of the late third century BC. |
