| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in the Greco-Roman tradition with a visored Corinthian-style helmet adorned with a crest. The effigy is rendered in a robust, somewhat provincial style characteristic of Iberian mint production of the 2nd century BC. The hair flows in stylized locks beneath the helmet, visible along the neck and cheek. The portrait fills the field with confident, high-relief modeling. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A rooster standing facing right, rendered with outstretched neck and prominent tail feathers, occupying the central field of the flan. The bird is depicted in a lively, naturalistic style typical of Iberian bronze coinage of the period, with feather detail indicated by incised lines on the wing and tail. The Iberian legend 'e' appears in the field. The composition is enclosed within a plain border, the overall strike being somewhat irregular due to the hammered technique. |
