| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in a stylized Ibero-Hellenistic manner strongly influenced by Emporitan coinage. The hair is depicted in thick, wavy locks swept back from the forehead, with individual strands articulated in a schematic, almost Celtic-influenced fashion. A plain torque or necklace is visible at the truncation of the neck. The facial features — almond-shaped eye, prominent nose, and defined jaw — reflect the local Iberian adaptation of Greek artistic conventions. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Pegasus in full flight to the right, depicted with large, outstretched wings rendered with a crest of raised dots or knobs along the leading edge. The winged horse is shown with forelegs raised and hind legs extended in a dynamic galloping posture. A short Iberian legend in Levantine semi-syllabic script appears in the lower exergual area below the figure. The design is set within an irregular flan with no border or additional decorative elements. |
