| Obverse description | Draped female head facing right, wreathed with ears of wheat, rendered in a Hellenistic style influenced by Emporitan coinage. The hair is arranged in loose waves with strands falling behind the neck, and the facial features are depicted with naturalistic modeling typical of late 3rd-century BC Iberian silver issues. The field is plain, and the flan exhibits the characteristic irregular fabric of hand-struck Hispanic coinage. A piercing hole is noted below the portrait, indicating later use as a pendant or ornament. |

| Reverse description | Pegasus in full flight to the right, with forelegs raised and wings fully extended, rendered in a robust Iberian adaptation of the Emporitan Pegasus type. The horse's head is modified with distinctly local stylistic features diverging from its Greek prototype. An Iberian legend in Levantine semi-syllabic script runs around the lower portion of the reverse field. The overall composition fills the flan dynamically, consistent with Ilergetan workshop practice of the Second Punic War period. A piercing hole is visible at the upper left of the flan. |
