| Obverse description | Diademed male head in right profile, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition characteristic of Iberian colonial coinage. The effigy displays finely engraved curly hair secured by a diadem, with a short ribbon visible behind the neck. A draped mantle is indicated at the base of the bust. The portrait is set within a beaded border and occupies the full field, reflecting strong Greek artistic influence on local Edetanian die-cutting. |

| Reverse description | A bull charging vigorously to the right, rendered with considerable naturalistic energy, its head lowered and tail raised. A six-pointed star appears in the upper field above the animal's back, serving as a control symbol or civic emblem. Below the bull, in the exergue, a legend in Iberian (Levantine) semi-syllabic script reads the mint name 'Arse', identifying the issuing city. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border on an irregular flan typical of Hispano-Iberian hammered coinage. |
