| Obverse description | Male head facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian-style helmet rendered in low relief. The facial features are summarily engraved in the archaic Ibero-Punic tradition, with the helmet visor partially obscuring the face. The flan is irregular and pierced, as frequently encountered on these small silver fractions. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | Bare male head depicted facing, rendered in a schematic, archaic style consistent with Ibero-Punic coinage of the Second Punic War period. The facial features — eyes, nose, and mouth — are boldly but crudely engraved. The flan bears a central piercing hole, suggesting ancient use as a pendant or amulet. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |
