| Obverse description | Circular legend enclosing a plain or lightly decorated central field, with the inscription HIBERVS partially preserved around the periphery. The coin is struck on a compact, irregular flan typical of provincial bronze issues from Carthago Nova during the Augustan period. The fabric is coarse, consistent with municipal hammered coinage of the Iberian provinces. The legend, rendered in Latin capitals, runs clockwise and is partially obscured by die wear and surface corrosion. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a Latin legend arranged around the central field, referencing the duoviri quinquennales responsible for the coin's issue. The inscription names C. Lucius as one of the magistrates, with the title II VIR QVINQ indicating the quinquennial duovirate, a magistracy of elevated civic status in Roman colonial municipalities. The field is largely plain, consistent with the simple typology of small provincial bronze denominations. The lettering is rendered in coarse Roman capitals on a worn, patinated flan characteristic of circulated Augustan provincial coinage from Hispania. |
