| Obverse description | Bare head of Marcus Agrippa facing left, wearing a rostral crown adorned with prow-shaped ornaments, a distinctive naval honor. The portrait is rendered in a bold, slightly provincial style characteristic of Augustan-era Hispanic municipal coinage. A beaded border frames the field, and the Latin legend AGRIPPA is inscribed in the left field, identifying the honoree. |

| Reverse description | An aplustre — the ornamental stern-piece of a Roman warship — depicted upright at center, its curved fan of ribs rising prominently from a small base, evoking Agrippa's celebrated naval victories. Flanking the aplustre are two smaller decorative elements, possibly marine motifs, within a beaded border. The circular Latin legend MVNICIPI PARENS surrounds the design, honoring Agrippa as the 'father of the municipality' of Gades. |
